What does the Technical Talents Programme involve?
The programme takes three years to complete. After a general introduction, you'll spend the first year working in your specialised area, where you'll work on projects and increase your in-depth technical knowledge. You'll then spend 6 months in a related area.
After 18 months you and your mentor will discuss your progress and your specific interests. You'll spend the next 18 months increasing your knowledge in breadth and depth. After three years you can start working as an independent consultant.
Training
Presentation and communication skills, personal skills and technical training courses. During your traineeship you'll attend many different courses with your colleagues from the Technical Talents Pool. And that means developing a broad range of knowledge and skills.
Guidance
Throughout the Technical Talents Programme you'll have a permanent mentor, who will answer your questions, provide guidance and ensure you develop optimally, both in your specialised technical area as well as personally. You will also have a point of contact for each project. A key factor, however, will be your ability to take initiative yourself.
Applying
You can apply to join the Technical Talents Programme throughout the year. We select around twelve to fifteen talents each year for this unique career opportunity.
