With this step, Motopp marks the beginning of a new phase of growth and expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its founding in 2020, Motopp has proven that its model works \u2013 through a combination of rigorous selection, intensive training, and ongoing coaching, newcomers are empowered to deliver immediate value to employers and to Dutch society as a whole.<br><strong>\u201cWe\u2019ve shown over the past few years that it can be done: highly educated and motivated newcomers contributing at their level, with real perspective for the future. Now it\u2019s time for the next step. Onno brings the experience we need to make that happen,\u201d said co-founder\u00a0Jan Princen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Growth target: 1,000 Motoppers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Commen\u00e9e\u2019s appointment marks the start of a new growth phase. Under his leadership, Motopp aims to scale up to at least\u00a01,000 placements\u00a0across public and private organizations in the Netherlands. Quality will remain the guiding principle: a\u00a095% conversion rate to permanent employment\u00a0continues to be the benchmark for every placement. The combination of carefully selected, highly educated newcomers\u2014often with over 10 years of IT experience\u2014along with intensive traineeships and weekly coaching, ensures consistently high outcomes.<br><strong>\u201cI\u2019ve always been committed to helping people who face barriers to employment. Work provides connection, belonging, and the opportunity to fully participate in society. At Motopp, we\u2019re building a labor market where everyone gets a fair chance, feels at home, and can move forward,\u201d said\u00a0Onno van Commen\u00e9e.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scaling experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Commen\u00e9e brings extensive experience in building and scaling organizations, particularly within the staffing and recruitment industry, as well as in initiatives supporting people distanced from the labor market. His combination of strategic insight and entrepreneurial drive aligns perfectly with Motopp\u2019s ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Strengthening partnerships and exploring new models<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the coming period, the focus will be on expanding Motopp\u2019s impact through growth within existing partnerships while exploring how the Motopp model can be applied more broadly \u2014 for example, in sectors where newcomers are still underrepresented, through tailor-made programs within large organizations, and in new regions or funding models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jan Princen continues as Motopp\u2019s ambassador<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Van Commen\u00e9e\u2019s arrival, co-founder\u00a0Jan Princen\u00a0will focus fully on his role as Motopp\u2019s strategic ambassador, sharing Motopp\u2019s story and nurturing relationships with existing and new partners.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-2-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8874\" style=\"width:426px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.motopp.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>About Motopp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Motopp helps highly educated newcomers find their place in the Dutch labor market.
