Hello!!!!

 I’m Jan Valken.

I was born in Schiedam in 1955. I lived there the most years off my live. I was the second of five children and my father was working on a shipyard. When I was 8 years old I already new I want to be a carmechanic.

 In 1974 I started to work as a carmechanic. I have bean working at several different garages. At that time I was playing the trumpet in a large show band. I have bean two years to the music school. I was a trumpet instructor, and I have don the choreography for a large show.

 I med my wife on a vacation in 1982. We get married in 1983. In 1987 I moved white my wife to Krimpen a/d IJssel. In 1988 my son Bart was born. In 1990 the ask me to teach. That was at a project for long-term unemployment people. In 1992 my daughter Lisanne was born. In 1994 I have teach for the Innovam. In 1986 I was unemployed for a year. Then I have bean ask to teach on the Albeda College. Then I went to study for my 2e degree teacher diploma.

 I like the job that I have now. I’m teaching car mechanics at level 1 and two. I am visiting the student on the job. I’m also busy with the implementation of "the new way of learning". In "the new way of learning", the students have to do the study in there one way. We give them a structure to work with and we give them the opportunity to make there one planning. Also we provide theme a time table where in the have to work. The teacher have less to teach but more to coach.

 I also going to make learning guides for the student so the now how and where to get the right information to complete successfully al there learning assignments. We are gone make NVQ’s (National Vocational Qualifications).

 National, because they have to meet the standards agreed by employers across the country.

Mij name is Therese Vermolen

I live in Barendrecht since 1999.

My address is Kabbelkant 14.

I was born in Lichtenvoorde in 1951. Lichtenvoorde is a small village in the Achterhoek in Gelderland.

When I was four years old I visited the Kindergarten and after 2 years I went to primaryschool for 6 years.

After that I went to the MULO and I graduated in 1966. MULO A , B and Middenstandsdiploma.

My parents thought  I was too young to leave Lichtenvoorde and live on my own so they sended me to the INAS for 1 year to learn everything about becoming a good housewife.( I learned a lot but I never became a good housewife)

In 1967 I went to Doetinchem to become a nurse. I graduated in 1971 and the day I received mij diploma I quited.Working in a hospital was not, what I wanted to do.  

In 1971 I married Theo Vermolen and we moved to Rotterdam.

In 1972 we moved to Oud - Beijerland because we needed more space and a better house.

In 1972 I went to school again , to a EveningAtheneum and I graduated in 1975.

After that, I studied MO Pedagogiek and in 1974 I was asked to become a teacher in the Vormingscentrum.I never dreamed of becoming a teacher but from the first teachersday I knew that this was the job for me.

In 1978 our son Kees was born and my husband and I decided to work part-time  to take care of our son.

In 1980 our second son Thijs was born.

In 1982 I became teamleider . The vormingscentrum merged with BBO and became Streekschool-Zuid.

Now the Streekschool is part of Albedacollege and I became educational manager for level 1 and 2 .

I like my job and my collegae's and I hope the division Techniek becomes a positive impuls this year.

My hobby's ;

I always read , also in my spare time . I like to listen to music and I can play the piano and guitar, just a little bit. We always had a camper and we traveled to Europe and America several times.

Since 4 years we have a house in France and that is the place to be for me now.

I follow this English course because I like to have international contacts but also because of the fact that in England  we can learn a lot of the process of accretitation of prior learning and our team wants to visit several schools in Birmingham.

greetings,

T.Vermolen

Loek Snijders

Albada College is devided into four departments (Technical education, Education, Economics, Health Education). Besides the different departments, we also have the main office and the shared service center to keep this institution running. Every department consists of a management (team), the staff, the control, the administration, the different education branches and the main office of the department. The latter consists of for example: the department director, the finance department and Adrian’s and my working place: the human resource department.

My job includes everything concerning employers of the technical education department. I am responsible for the making of contracts, the registration and control of the sick, the implementation of salary or salary changes ect. Adrian is the head of this department. His job comprises the supervision of my work and the more complex matters concerning the human resource department.
