The paper is devoted to the analyses of policy approach to introduction of publicprivate partnerships in the Dutch vocational education and training system. The gradual development of public-private partnerships is highlighted in historical retrospect. The policy approaches of the Dutch government for the implementation and development of various forms of public-private partnerships in the field of professional and higher education are determined. The
centres of PPPs and peculiarities of their functioning are characterized. It has been found that the government has a crucial role in implementing policies for PPPs statement and development. It was found out that governments should introduce new and innovative governance models to tackle countless implementation issues, partly redefining the relationship between the government and executive actors, and moving from a principal-agent towards network model. It was concluded that PPPs are able to improve skills and knowledge of the workforce while accommodating today’s rapid pace of innovation in technology and society (digitalization, growth in self-employment, etc.). It becomes evident that cooperation between public and private partners is increasing in need especially in condition of rapid developments and changes in technology and society.
