Get to know our other trainees

During the program, the daily standups were very useful. The standups assured us that we were not alone with particular problems or issues and that there was always a helping hand. Luckily, I was given the best wingman in the company: Bart Prikker. I would recommend this traineeship program to everyone who is interested in Data, DevOps, Integration, or Software Engineering.
