In conversation with CEO <strong>Christina Hiemstra<\/strong> and Head of Product <strong>Maarten Kappert <\/strong>, we talked about the collaboration with Motopp. Recently, a Motopper joined Welcome app as a Mendix developer. <strong>G\u00f6ktug Gokce<\/strong> later joins the conversation himself and talks about his experiences of his new job, as well as the value of the knowledge and skills he gained during the Motopp traineeship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Welcome app, the decisive factor in partnering with Motopp was the shared commitment to newcomers. Both parties see the talent and knowledge that newcomers have to offer. Through their platform, Welcome app offers a tool to unburden municipalities in the implementation of integration policy, by giving newcomers a tool to take control of their own integration process. Its strength lies in its accessibility for all; for instance, the app is available in 10 languages. Connections between locals and newcomers are made possible, as well as participation in various activities, such as language lessons, cycling courses and football competitions. Making newcomers feel welcome is central to this. Diversity and inclusion is a key to this, which explains the logical move to hire a trainee from Motopp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>as an organisation, we want to represent the target group we serve<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Christina Hiemstra, CEO Welcome app<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In conversation with Christina, she emphasises <em>\u201das an organisation, we want to reflect the target group we serve\u201d.<\/em> Maarten underlines this by saying that employees like G\u00f6ktug are essential for the further development of the platform, as they understand the target group best through shared experiences as newcomers. G\u00f6ktug can use his personal knowledge to empathise with app users. In addition, the IT traineeship has trained G\u00f6ktug to become a professional Mendix developer. The expertise G\u00f6ktug gained during the traineeship, he now use at Welcome app to welcome other newcomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A moment later, G\u00f6ktug joins us. He enthusiastically shares his experiences of the first months at Welcome app. Every day is challenging, and he keeps constantly improving his technical skills. <em>\u201dG\u00f6ktug is proactive and communicates clearly\u201d.<\/em> The personal guidance Motopp provides in the job search is very valuable, G\u00f6ktug shares. Motopp is known for its diligence in connecting candidates and clients. The interests of both parties are considered to ensure the best possible collaboration. This resulted in G\u00f6ktug\u2019s successful onboarding at Welcome app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where G\u00f6ktug himself first started as an IT trainee at Motopp and further expanded his knowledge of Mendix, he is now putting his knowledge to use to help other newcomers get started. We are happy with the cooperation with Welcome app. It\u2019s great to see our Motoppers getting involved with others and contributing to the joint effort for newcomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-29-at-17.40.05-1024x559.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-29-at-17.40.05-1024x559.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-29-at-17.40.05-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-29-at-17.40.05-768x419.png 768w, https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-29-at-17.40.05-1536x839.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot-2024-02-29-at-17.40.05-2048x1119.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, we visited Welcome app, an initiative that brings newcomers, organisations and municipalities together through the app they developed.
