Flemish term or phrase: een bank vooruit en een kus van de juffrouw (expression)
Ik ken deze uitdrukking natuurlijk wel (dus geen letterlijke vertaling, graag) maar ik zoek een gepaste uitdrukking die ik kan gebruiken als de titel van een informeel hoofdstukje in een ondernemingstijdschrift. Deze paragraaf gaat over medewerkers die opleidingen voltooid hebben.
