Mentor vacatures in Amstelveen

Motopp

Boost your skills, use your talent and find your dream job in IT.

We guide motivated status holders and newcomers to opportunities in the Netherlands and solve the shortages of professionals in IT. It's about what you want to achieve, not about your background.

• Who is it suitable for?

  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.

• What does the selection process look like?

  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.

• Practical information

  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.

Meet your mentors "It is very satisfying to offer people who, despite their level of education, are unable to find work, a job with perspective. Every day, I see Motoppers flourish because they are able to make a success of their training program and new career. I am there to facilitate their path of self-realisation."
