| Project description: | This research aims to understand why MBO 4 students in Tourism & Recreation/Hospitality choose to either continue their education in higher education (HBO) or enter the workforce. The study used desk research, brainstorming, and a survey to gather insights. However, due to low survey responses, conclusive results could not be drawn. The project also explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on students' decisions. |
