Kickstart your career in engineering
The technical sector is booming in IJmond, but many companies are struggling with staff shortages. This is where the Technology Garden comes in: a programme that allows new recruits to take their first step into the technical sector. Whether you come from a different sector, start on benefits or have just finished school - we help talented people with and without a distance to the labour market find a paid job in engineering.
We make sure talent and technology really find each other. Always together, never alone.
Caroline Hettich, project manager
here's what to expect.
Over 12 weeks, you will learn the basics, divided into two 6-week phases. You will have practical lessons at NOVA College, under the guidance of practical learning masters and job coaches. Afterwards, you will go on final placement at a regional company - often with the prospect of a contract.
And there is more: you will receive guidance on certification, application skills and even your language skills. Education requirements? There are none. What we do ask is motivation. Enrolment is possible throughout the school year, at fixed starting times and in groups of a maximum of 12 participants.

The Technology Garden is a strong example of a public-private partnership. The pilot results speak for themselves: from the first group, several participants are now employed in permanent technical positions.
