Students gain inspiration at Tomatoworld
To get inspiration for their profile paper, 300 havo and vwo pupils from ISW Hoogeland are visiting Tomatoworld this week. ISW Enterprise organises these inspiration afternoons. Students have to hand in their profile paper next year. New this year is the possibility of writing it in consultation with a Westland company or institution.
The profile paper is part of the examination dossier of havo and vwo pupils and shows what knowledge, insights and skills they have gained within their chosen profile. In the context of linking education to the business world ISW is giving students the opportunity, starting this year, to realise the profile paper in collaboration with a Westland company. In this way, students are helped further on their future career path. Acting as a client is also interesting for the companies; the results of the profile paper are very useful. In addition, the companies - in their role as clients - come into contact with possible future college and university-trained employees. After all, Entrepreneurial Westland offers plenty of career opportunities for the target group of the future.
Programme
As a kick-off for their profile paper, the students start with a tour of Tomatoworld. They will then be offered a master class in which WUR will explain how to formulate a research question for their profile paper. Afterwards, they will be encouraged through practical case studies to complete the profile paper for a Westland company.

ISW Ondernemen organises these inspiration afternoons in cooperation with Tomatoworld. Both aim to strengthen the connection between education and the Westland business community. External assignments in the form of a profile paper at Westland organisations fits in perfectly with this.
