Overview

The Transport and Logistics Sector Institute (Dutch: Sectorinstituut Transport en Logistiek, STL) is a Dutch sector organisation for the transport and logistics industry. According to its official website, STL works to ensure the inflow, retention and expertise of skilled personnel in the transport and logistics sector. It describes its mission as "Samen werken aan een aantrekkelijke transportsector" — working together on an attractive transport sector. STL serves four main audiences. For employees, it offers training, career coaching and advice so that people can work safely and healthily. For employers, it provides everything needed to find, train and retain the right people, plus the latest sector figures. For job seekers, it helps find a suitable job, arranges training where needed and supports the application process. For students (leerlingen), it helps find the right programme, find a work placement company and supports the start of a career. The institute also runs initiatives such as the STL panel, which invites people to give their opinion, and promotes SOOB, a subsidy for training and development in the transport sector. It highlights campaigns such as training to become a truck driver with a job guarantee. Its website publishes news including updates on MDIEU subsidy decisions, development paths, the quarterly sector monitor, election results and the tight labour market for drivers. As a sector institute, STL is not a commercial logistics operator but an industry body focused on human capital, education and labour-market information for Dutch road transport and logistics. Its activities are concentrated in the Netherlands.
