The most innovative field

Every company needs IT knowledge. No matter in which branch the company operates. And no, by IT knowledge we don't just mean people who code all day with 4 screens around them. The world of IT is extremely versatile and is always expanding! From monitoring and optimising systems to online security, from programming to being the project or management link between the business and IT. There are plenty of options to find a great career in IT that suits your needs.

What is IT?

IT stands for Information Technology and means: 'everything that has to do with automated capture and processing of information'. When you work in an IT department, you are generally responsible for processing, storing and protecting an organisation's digital information. Boring? No way! The profession has a lot to offer. In fact, anyone can come into their own within IT.

    The position you will hold is not determined in advance. During the training period, we will jointly review your strengths and preferences. That ultimately determines the direction of the job you will be assigned to.
