Meet & Mix: speed dating with Traineeships 💼
There comes a time when you transition into working life. Traineeships offer a valuable bridge for this transition. On Tuesday, March 5, will you join the conversation and speed-date while looking for a traineeship that suits you? International Opportunities (English) 🌍.
Why a traineeship?
You get a better picture of yourself and your future prospects through a program that combines professional development and personal growth. By working on different projects in a short period of time, you gain important work experience that looks good on your resume. Through professional growth and development, you will find out where your strengths lie and which aspects do not suit you so well. Above all, it helps you determine the direction in which you want to grow.
Meet & Mix: speed dating with traineeships
To get a better idea of what opportunities you have after your studies, we offer you the chance to talk to real companies! Ask your questions and learn more about the traineeship opportunities within the labor market.
What are you going to do?
You sign up for a theme and will learn more about their traineeship programmes, the companies and ask your questions. There will be different rounds where you meet different companies between 17.00 - 19.00 hours. Around 19.00 hours we will close the evening with a drink at the subsequent networking drinks.
Which themes are there?
There is one specific theme for English speaking students: International Opportunities (English) 🌍. The other themes are (mostly) about Dutch speaking traineeships and can be found more extensively on the Dutch page. There you can find more information about the following themes: Consultancy & Project Management (Dutch) 💼 , Finance & Control (Dutch)📊 , Government & Education (Dutch)🏛️, (Cyber)Security & IT (Dutch) 🔒 and Mix Broad Orientation (Dutch) 🔄. Keep in mind that some other companies present might also hire English-speaking students, so make sure you do your research in advance, to know which companies you'd like to talk to.
For whom?
The companies whom attend are mainly Dutch-speaking, as there are more Dutch-speaking opportunities available, but this year we made sure there are also English-speaking opportunities for international students.
