the mobility sector in Belgium. Our goal is to provide enough qualified staff

in the mobility sector.

EDUCAM Partner & EDUCAM Service

Investigate the futurewith a lot of nerve

Changes in the mobility market

Market potential Threats of the digital world

Opportunities in the digital worldEconomic environment

Disruptive changes

Clients do their research onlineLess showroom visits

Online channels make "sales" and "after sales" more transparent

Online clients are less attached to specific locations

Online activities offer new opportunities and needs to

interact with clients

Vehicle data are available and influence telematics

Long period of zero-growth and volatility

Changing attitude towards car possession in adult markets

Less & less frequent need for repairs/maintenance

IPCC report: global warming is "unequivocal"

Developments relations stakeholders

Market changes and social changes are forcing stakeholders to review the vision and missions

Employers and workers (including review on the social-economic level)

Trade unions (identity crisis) Economizing leads towards centralization of

contacts between education and companies Social consultation is under pressure and risks to

become a deadlocked conflict.

Developments relations stakeholders

Less companies in the sector, less workers, less students = less tax incomes

This puts pressure on collective/joint achievements

Important achievements Collectivity / Parity

Making possible things without a market ... which are of utmost importance to the sector

Not absolutely vital, but essential vitamins in order to keep the sector healthy in the long run and even in order to keep it alive

FacilitiesKnowledge infrastructure Successful Easily accessible Long history But ...

Because of that Taken for granted by both employers and workers Vulnerable Added value has gone out of sight and gets little attention

So, when every euro counts, the trend towards economizing on the preservation of this infrastructure grows

What is our reality?

Challenges for EDUCAMLooking for new returns New products in existing markets Existing products in new markets

Preservation of its own account manager service Sales & Execution Business support/HR support

WeBuildRetail: from "lead to sales" New activities: non technical training courses, HR support, Automotive Manufacturing

New initiatives lead also to friction with stakeholders

Threatening

Venturing into the territory they are claiming

Employers overestimate their share and influence

In search of astonishment ...

It creates uncertainty, chaos, fear,and the foundation for awareness and change

Thank you: "Have a happy future … !"
