Growing and learning through work experience
Those who do not have a diploma and want to learn a profession, or gain work experience, can get a one- or two-year professional insertion contract (ART 60, ECOSOC or insertion geco) at Maks vzw.

They learn through trial and error. Under the guidance of a coach, they learn their chosen trade within a team of professionals, and according to the learning priorities of their personal development plan.
