IT-Traineeship

Working as a claims handler?

We offer a traineeship programme to become an expert in handling claims so you can start working for an insurer straight away. For this training, you need basic proficiency in the Dutch language (B2). We will help you on your way.

Finance Traineeship (in Dutch)

  • You are a refugee from your country of origin and now a status holder in the Netherlands. If you are interested in a traineeship in IT, you do not necessarily need to have professional experience or a relevant education, but a strong interest. Requirements for the traineeship are that you have a high-level education, bachelor or master, and that you have at least a B2 level in English and/or a B1 level in Dutch. Furthermore, we ask you to be eager to learn and motivated.

  • Candidates can apply by uploading a short motivation and their cv via the application link to the right. Suitable applications will be invited for an interview and a technical assessment. One month before the start of a traineeship, the 12 most suitable candidates are selected and informed about the programme.

  • Full-time availability is a strict requirement, namely 5 days on weekdays. The traineeships are mainly delivered online (remote), with a 1-weekly session at our Amsterdam office. The traineeships are completely free of charge for the Motopper, including travel expenses.
