On 20 January, the STE Management received a voucher from Alderman Stijn Steenbakkers for a digitization project with which STE can optimize the development of its management reporting within a new course administration system.

APG is the largest pension administration organization in the Netherlands. Miriam Crutzen is APG’s Head of Business & Performance Control. In that role she works with colleagues of different nationalities and English is the official language. To strengthen her language skills, she followed an individual English training course at STE.

Individuals who want to work on specific language skills will benefit greatly from individual training. Mieke Groenewegen, until recently Managing Director at APG, experienced this. At STE Languages she started working with a teacher who explicitly anticipated her development needs which soon paid off.

Dear client, last year was another intense and emotional year - professionally and also privately for many of us. Despite the unrest in the world, we look back on a year of positivity, loyalty and resilience. We are grateful that we as a team have accompanied so many students on their language journey and that we have entered into new partnerships.

On 5th December 2021, ASML and STE Languages signed a new 3-year collaboration agreement for the period 2022 to 2024. We are pleased that we will again be able to provide language training for ASML in the coming years. We strive for high quality and optimal customer satisfaction.

All students will have access to a new customer portal from Monday, 13th December. This has to do with the migration to a new course administration and back-office system. STE Languages ​​has opted for Microsoft Business Dynamics 365, a future-oriented solution for the management of our core processes. The new and improved portal provides insight into the complete student journey, covering all aspects of the training such as application, attendance registration, e-learning, study materials and evaluations.

Anyone who works in an international environment will inevitably have to deal with language differences. To overcome these differences, Vanderlande employees can follow language training at STE Languages. Nicole Loman (37) coordinates this for Vanderlande Industries. The subsidy scheme “Tel mee met Taal” plays an important role in this.

Taking a language course can be an advantage if you want to develop yourself and increase your opportunities in the labour market. Good language skills are also essential for companies to improve internal communication, safety in the workplace and international trade relations. By investing in language, you are stronger and more competitive, and that is why it is good to know that there are various subsidy options for companies and individuals. STE Languages has extensive experience in administering grant applications and can provide you with targeted support.
