Education organization puts ‘everything on green’!
Nordwin College will now continue under the name Aeres. In 2020, Nordwin College and Aeres merged and cooperated to form a single agricultural training center. The organization now continues under one name, with a clear choice for green.
By merging, Aeres and Nordwin College have formed one strong education and knowledge organization for the green sector since mid-2020, with a focus on Agro, Food and Living Environment. In the past year, work has been done on the integration of both organizations. This process has been completed and both organizations formed one AOC by means of an institutional merger.
Name change
At the administrative merger in 2020, Aeres and Nordwin College already expressed the ambition to continue under one name after the formation of one educational training centre and in this way to express the common commitment to green. In practice, this means that from now on the Nordwin College locations will have a new name and a new logo.
Both inside and outside Friesland, Aeres continues to serve pupils and students with high-quality education, in the safe learning environment they are used to. In addition, we are working hard on educational innovation and further strengthening of quality with combined power and efforts.
