Introduction
MVO - The Netherlands Oils and Fats Industry has been operating for 3 years as a private
association. As it now appears there is a need for more knowledge about oils and fats in the society.
On the one hand more knowledge for sector employees and on the other hand more knowledge for
students at certain educations. The wide dissemination of knowledge about fats and oils is important
among also other relevant target groups, because unknown makes unloved.
The Oils and Fats Industry is virtually unknown to the greater public. The crops out of which oils and
fats are derived are mostly grown outside our country. Our Industry Plants are located at harbours
away from the towns and villages. The Product can easily be envisioned as a small part of the
supermarket shelves either in the refrigerator or amongst other groceries. But hardly anyone outside
the sector knows that the oils and fats are an essential ingredient in a large part of the supermarket
products, both food and non food. Also in feed they play an important role as well as in the biobased
economy. At least the sector employees of the present and the near future should know there is
more to fats and oils than just some nice products.
The sector in itself plays an important role in the Agro Economy, both in import, export and
production value. The supply chain is a vital supply chain in supplying the world with foods. Adding
knowledge to educations emphasizes the role of the Dutch oils and fats industry as a potential
employer. The (food) industry is currently difficult to get skilled technical staff.
Employees in the sector used to already have the ability to follow a course in Food and Feed Safety,
a course that is given annually by MVO. The course is fully booked every year and the course
program is becoming more and more extended. This illustrates the probable need for other courses
on other topics besides Food & Feed Safety.
There are also other initiatives such as an information day for employees of the NVWA, modules on
oils and fats within other courses, a digital knowledge centre and e-learnings. The request was made
from the Board of MVO to extend the current course offer with a separate basic course and a course
in sustainability. In addition to promote knowledge sharing and cross-fertilization with other
educational programs at universities. In developing our own courses it must be taken into account
the knowledge that is being taught in courses in related fields, such as courses from STC, Fosfa and
the Committee for Grain Traders.

Aim of the Program
MVO Academy aims the following aspects:
Increasing the knowledge of employees in the sector
Bringing basic knowledge about the sector and about oils and fats in relevant educational
programs at universities, where curricula lack this knowledge
Increasing the quality of the customer-supplier conversation; by providing them with more
knowledge about oils and fats they can better understand how product specifications are
established (business to business education)
Increasing the knowledge in Key Opinion Leaders, especially policy makers and enforcers in
the field of nutrition and food; this will contribute to a correct valuation of oils and fats in a
healthy, safe and sustainable foodchain.
Perhaps its clarifying if it’s also mentioned what should not be the goal of the program at this
moment. In this phase of the program MVO Academy does NOT aim: specific factory line
knowledge, creating more positions for internships, promoting research, a professor chair, a
separate master or major within a certain education, a pilot plant at certain educations.
Program results
The program will initially include:
• Basic course for (new) employees in the sector
• Courses Food & Feed Safety for (new) employees in the sector, this course has been
already developed but will need some adjustments to fit in the new program
• Sustainable development course for (new) employees in the sector
• Learning module for students food technology and/or nutrition
The level of the program will be MBO+ / HBO / WO.
Supporting the training and teaching modules a new digital knowledge centre will be developed. This
Centre has the option to grow from one education level to another education level.
The basic course includes knowledge on:
The supply chain / the natural origin / functionality / chemistry / processing technique / biobased
developments / basic knowledge about MVO themes: Food and Health, Sustainability, Product
Quality and Food/Feed Safety and Trade Policy.
It’s important to note that not only the food sector will be addressed but also the feed, technics/
oleochemistry, biobased and energy sector.

Target groups
The main target groups are:
• Employees in the sector
• Student food technology and nutrition HBO / WO
• Relevant stakeholders / customers
Timings and Resources
In 2017 the development of the newly bethought courses of the MVO Academy takes place. Also an
inventory will be started up of the available offer in knowledge on the one hand and the gaps in
knowledge on the other hand. In 2018 the existing Food & Feed Safety Course will be updated and
there should be developed two new courses, the Basic course on Oils and Fats and the
Sustainability Course. At the end of 2018 a teaching module will be developed for a university.

Digital Knowledge Centre
At specific times feedback will be given to the Board of MVO, to an interested audience (hereafter it
be mentioned as a consultation group) and to the MVO employees. Also in the working groups
updates will be given on a regular basis.

A project structure is set up in which course development can take place (signalling needs, signalling
knowledge offer, program content determination, material development, assessment, accreditation).
This project structure should permanently promote the exchange of knowledge.
A project group will be set up plus a number of working groups and a focus group. The role of the
project group will be a steering role. The working groups will be developing the different
courses. The chairmen of the working groups are members of the project group. In addition, in the
project group, other business officials who have a broad view on their companies needs will have a
seat. The consultation group is open to people involved in fully developed courses, WAC members
and relevant and interested business officials. Depending on the phase of the program, the project
will change in composition of people. Preferably in the various groups people from the MVO member
companies will join on a regular basis.
Preconditions
MVO Academy strives for the long run for a zero balance, a situation where the benefits outweigh
the costs or are equal to the costs. The program in the long run must be at least financially neutral
for the sector, preferably it generates a positive cash flow. This money can then be used to fund and
expand the digital knowledge centre or more training in educational institutions.
For the development of the MVO Academy has a budget of € 25,000 in 2017. The question remains
whether this amount is for the onset of the development only, as it might not be enough when the
development of a Digital Knowledge Centre is included.
MVO enables FTE in the form of a project leader (0.2 FTE) and project staff. From the MVO Policy
Advisors substantial input is needed. Logistical support will be needed in the field of event
management and administration. Once the recruitment for the courses has started communications
support will be needed. Experts from the MVO member companies are also asked to give
substantial input and commitment and teaching hours within their field of expertise, transparency
across their businesses and opening up companies for excursions.
The courses should be evaluated positively. A course is a success when:
• per course the anticipated number of participants is enrolling
• if the evaluation among the participants is positive
• if the knowledge is demonstrably increased as will be judged by an examination
The aim is - where possible - to achieve accreditation. However so far no existing accreditation
has been discovered.
When there are grants available, grants will be used as much as possible. However so far no
suitable grant has been discovered.

Risk management
Risk can better be spotted in advance and need to be addressed properly. Here are the risks can be
thought of at the moment.
Risk: inadequate involvement of the sector companies.
To prevent this risk at regular intervals the MVO Board members will be updated on the program and
they will be asked for their commitment. Furthermore employees from the sector companies will be
scheduled within the program where specific expertise matches their skills. Also the companies will
be asked to open up their plants for excursions.
Within the project group smart goals on these aspects will be agreed on. The schedule will provide
insights in how many teaching hours a person or a company will be asked to participate in the
program and how the teaching hours will be evenly divided among the different companies.
Risk: not enough commitment FTE / time / money
A good and realistic planning and budgeting should avoid the occurrence of this risk. The program
should not be set too large.
Risk: negative evaluation of training programs or teachers
Proper evaluation and adjustment of speakers of program should prevent this risk from happening.
Also a train the trainer course can be part of the program.
Risk: offered knowledge does not reflect the sectors needs
To avoid this risk, experts from the companies serve on the consultation group, the working groups
and in the project team. Also within the setting up of each course an open consultation will be part.
Meanwhile, experts from the companies will provide substantial input.
