Our unique approach

Our investment goes far beyond professional skills.

At Motopp, we work on the basic skills needed to work in a leading company. This goes beyond subject-specific skills, but also focuses on personal development, communication, cooperation and presentation techniques. Someone’s self-confidence is boosted, allowing the Motopper to exceed his or her own ambitions, and those of the client and those around him or her.

Our training program

With our intensive pre-selection and training of 3 to 6 months we guide status holders step by step to a new future. This is the prelude to work, where we then guide them intensively for another year.

  

01 Basic training

For two weeks we provide a variety of workshops focused on the integration on Dutch working culture, presentation techniques, language skills, Agile/scrum and introduction to Dutch values and norms.

During the first year, we offer 2-weekly workshops and coaching sessions to ensure the chance of sustainable success.

  • Future perspectives for our Motoppers arise from the possibility to contribute to Dutch society as a newcomer. This leads to an improved sense of well-being by the sense of belonging somewhere.

      

  • A highly motivated, culturally and internationally balanced workforce contributes to an adaptive, innovative, profitable and competitive market position. 

  • Lowering the cost of society and a constantly growing economy.
