Investing in Skills: How Kiremko Supports Technical Talent Through the Skillspaspoort
At Kiremko, we believe that the future of innovation and excellence in the food processing industry begins with investing in people—especially in young technical talent. Our commitment to education and professional growth has long been a part of our DNA, and we are proud to contribute to initiatives that equip the next generation with the tools they need to succeed. One such initiative is the Skillspaspoort (Skills Passport), an innovative tool developed in collaboration with FME and other industry leaders.

As highlighted in a recent article by FME, the Skillspaspoort is more than just a resume—it’s a dynamic record of a person’s skills, experiences, and competencies, regardless of where or how they were acquired. Designed to make individuals’ talents more visible to employers, the passport empowers people to transition more easily between roles and industries, boosting mobility and job security in a rapidly changing job market.

Kiremko is proud to be one of the companies actively supporting and implementing the Skillspaspoort. We recently opened our doors to the FME crew for a video shoot as part of the national campaign to promote this initiative. During the shoot, several of our young professionals shared their own experiences—highlighting how the Skillspaspoort has helped them visualize their growth, recognize their strengths, and map out clear development paths within our organization.
One young technician noted, “It’s not just about your diploma anymore. With the Skillspaspoort, I can show everything I’ve learned on the job and during training. It’s helped me talk to my manager about my next steps and future goals.”
Our involvement with the Skillspaspoort is just one part of Kiremko’s broader commitment to technical education. We maintain strong ties with vocational schools and training institutions, offering internships, apprenticeships, and mentorships. By doing so, we aim to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application—ensuring that students are well-prepared for real-world challenges.
In fact, many of our team members began their journey at Kiremko while still in school, and through structured development programs and tools like the Skillspaspoort, they’ve been able to carve out rewarding careers with us.
At Kiremko, we don’t just build high-tech food processing solutions—we help build futures. The Skillspaspoort is a symbol of our belief that talent deserves to be recognized, developed, and celebrated. We are excited to be part of this movement and remain dedicated to supporting young people in their professional journeys.
