According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS), the Netherlands ranks among the EU top 5 with highest participation rates in lifelong learning, i.e. enrolment in education or training by people aged 25-64. Those who indicate having received training and education for work or leisure are mostly the highly educated, people in their late 20’s and those working in financial services, health care and education.
Nearly 18% stated they received education or training for either work of personal reasons in 2014. This might be a workshop or a complete course in higher education. Within the EU, 11% of people aged 25-64 received education or training in 2014 (Press Release CBS, 15 February 2016).
