Dutch term or phrase: Aanleg

I am a little confused with 'aanleg' in this job description. So far my translation reads:
'Technical education followed by technical aptitude or interest, or other evidence of same.'

But I wonder if means, rather, that the person must have worked in a technical institution. It's for a director so I just thought that they would more than an aptitude and interest!

Een technische opleiding hebben gevolgd of op andere wijze blijk geven van een technische aanleg of belangstelling.
