Abstract
Logistics Cluster Flevoland is an organisation that promotes cooperation between educational institutions and logistics firms in the cluster. This research examines the relationship between the educational institutions ROC Flevoland and the University of Applied Sciences Windesheim and the logistic firms. The study create insights into their connection and contributions and show the visions and perceptions of the parties concerned. The research design uses a mixed-methods approach. The quantitative part of the research focuses on logistics students’ perceptions on the link between the logistics curriculum and the educational institution’s interaction with the day-to-day business in logistics firms. the qualitative part of the research contains semi-structured interviews that were conducted with the participating parties in the LCF cooperation, including municipalities, educational institutions and firms. The results show that the connection and contribution of the educational institutions Windesheim and ROC Flevoland are relatively low. The organisations involved can learn about each other’s perceptions and visions from the study, which can strengthen the education-firm collaboration, the logistics curriculum and its link to working practice. Both the educational institutions and firms in the LCF state that the cooperation can improve significantly through better coordination and more intensive contact.
