For nearly 80 years, Stivako has been a trusted provider of education, training, and workshops tailored to entrepreneurs, management, and employees in the creative and print media industries. Our focus is on professionals already working within companies who are eager to enhance their skills and grow further in their careers. Just like the dynamic industries we serve, Stivako’s programs are constantly evolving. We strive every day to refine our offerings, ensuring that our students bring exceptional value to their organizations.

Our training initiatives cover a wide range of business-critical areas, including management, marketing, sustainable employability, communication, leadership, quality improvement, lean methodologies, and sustainability. With access to an extensive network of experienced experts, trainers, and instructors, we are equipped to address all training and coaching needs—at every level.

Stivako works together with the KVGO, A&O fonds Grafimedia and Stichting OCI.  In addition, Stivako participated in various national and international projects, initiated by the European Union or the Dutch government. All this with the aim of optimizing the success of companies, stimulating innovation and deploying employees as sustainably as possible.

Our approach is personal, relationship-oriented and flexible. We also find it important to be a reliable partner, to stimulate creativity and to optimize the results for both companies and individuals.
