ABN AMRO has provided € 8 million in financing to Level.works, a partner for people with practical skills in the transport, logistics, public transport and technical sectors. The funding will support the technology-driven company's further growth and reflects ABN AMRO's strategy of financing businesses that strengthen Europe's competitiveness in areas including technology, energy and mobility.

The investment aligns well with that ambition, as Level.works combines technology and training to attract, train and sustainably deploy talent in sectors facing labour shortages.

Maikel Ringe, Corporate Banker at ABN AMRO, commented: "Level.works is making an impact by attracting, training and supporting talent for sectors that are vital to society and continue to face structural labour shortages. Through its focus on digitalisation and a training model built on its own Level.works Academy, the company has earned a distinctive position in the market. ABN AMRO is proud to support the continued growth of Level.works through this financing, backed by RVO (Netherlands Enterprise Agency) and EIF guarantee schemes."

Roderik Kusters, CEO of Level.works, added: "Having this financing from ABN AMRO is a strong vote of confidence in the Level.works business model and the growth we have achieved. It highlights our development from start-up to a mature, trusted partner playing a vital role in providing structural solutions to labour shortages in the Netherlands. This partnership underscores the quality and impact of the way we identify and train talented people and help them progress in their careers."

Supporting the next phase of growth

Since its founding in 2021, Level.works has grown rapidly and established itself as a key player in the labour market for practical professions. The financing will enable the company to attract more talent, expand the training programmes offered through the Level.works Academy, and further enhance its digital recruitment, selection and support processes. The company is also accelerating its activities in the technical and energy sectors, with plans to train 250 technicians over the coming year.
