Cruyff Education
De academische legacy van Johan Cruijff
Al meer dan 25 jaar zet Cruyff Education zich in om sporters te ondersteunen om hun sportcarrière te combineren met een maatschappelijke loopbaan, terwijl tegelijkertijd de sportsector verder wordt geprofessionaliseerd. Waar de focus in eerste instantie lag op het opleiden van topsporters, biedt Cruyff Education tegenwoordig programma’s aan voor professionals binnen én buiten de sportsector – op alle niveaus, van beroepsonderwijs tot executive education:
Johan Cruyff College: de beste combinatie voor topsport en mbo.
Johan Cruyff Academy: hbo sportmarketing voor topsporters.
Johan Cruyff Institute: Educating Leaders in Sport Management
Het onderwijs van Cruyff Education kenmerkt zich onder andere door praktijkgericht leren, met cases uit de praktijk en professionals uit het werkveld die het onderwijs verzorgen. Alle sporten en aspecten van sportmanagement komen aan bod, en de opleidingen zijn beschikbaar in diverse modaliteiten (online, blended, face-to-face), passend bij uiteenlopende leerbehoeften. In Heerenveen is er sinds kort een Cruyff Education Hub, een ruimte voor studie en ontwikkeling, waar (top)sport en onderwijs samenkomen.
Bovendien biedt Johan Cruyff Institute op maat gemaakte leeroplossingen voor verschillende belanghebbenden in de sportsector, gericht op het versterken van het hele sportecosysteem. We werken daarbij samen met sportorganisaties, we stimuleren netwerken en we ontwikkelen programma’s in samenwerking met onderwijsinstellingen, zowel in de regio als wereldwijd.
