With an eye to the future, Pink and Van Haren are continually expanding their learning catalogue, ensuring learners always have access to the skills that matter most.

Our partnership with Pink is just that. We both have our expertise, and together we create added value.” He also notes the shift in how professionals learn today: “Learning is changing.
