  • You are a refugee from your country of origin and now a status holder in the Netherlands or you are a newcomer with the right to work. If you are interested in a traineeship in IT, you do not necessarily need professional experience or a relevant education, but you do need a strong interest. Requirements for the traineeship are that you have a higher education, bachelor or master and you have at least B2 level in English. Furthermore, we ask you to be eager to learn and be motivated.

  • You can apply by uploading a short motivation and resume via the application link on the left, or top right corner of the website. Suitable candidates will be invited for an interview and a technical assessment. One month before the start of a traineeship, the 12 most suitable applications will be selected and informed about joining the program.

  • Fulltime availability is a strict requirement, namely 5 days during the week. The traineeships are partly given online (remote), with (at least) 2 days a week at our office in Amsterdam. The traineeships are completely free for the Motopper and include reimbursing travel expenses.
