Abstract

Dutch accounting education has an excellent reputation; yet future-proofing it is challenged by a tight labour market and the continuously expanding societal roles and expectations imposed on accountants. In this article, we share insights on how three other professions – healthcare, law and aviation – have approached challenges similar to those currently faced by accounting educators. First, we show how healthcare education deals with ever-growing amounts of knowledge that young professionals should master. Second, we share how law educators have developed a new post-graduate approach linking theory and practice. Third, we demonstrate how aviation training fosters competence development without overloading the curriculum.
