In 2013, I searched Google for an Excel vacancy for zzp'ers and found an internal vacancy at Via Scholen. Even though it was an internal vacancy, I applied. I received an email stating that they would first assess their staff and then contact me. None of their employees responded and I was invited for an interview about teaching Excel at Via Scholen in 2013.
The Via Scholen is a network organization of 10 Christian secondary schools (high schools) in the bible belt of The Netherlands. The 10 schools operate independent, but work together on:
Recruiting new staff
Professionalizing staff
Learning from and with each other within the network
etc.
The Excel workshops were part of their efforts to professionalize their staff.
The Via Schools are all located in the Bible Belt. The Bible Belt is the most Christian part of The Netherlands, starting in Zeeland and running like a belt through the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, Gelderland, the Veluwe, and Overijssel. It's one of the most beautiful hiking areas in The Netherlands. I've hiked the Westerborkpad and several other hikes in the area. It's also the location of Staphorst and Barneveld. More about this part of the Bible Belt in my tourism blogs. I've taught Excel to the Via Scholen staff at the Veenendaal locations and at one location in the Veluwe.
