Q&A

What is the schedule of the traineeship?

The first 3 months will focus on onboarding to our way of working and intense training in Java, AWS and Docker.

When your progress is successful, you can stay in that team afterwards (permanent position).

What are the working/learning hours?

The first 3 months, October to December, will be mostly in our offices in Antwerp, with the possibility to study from home on specific days. A training day will be from 9h to 17h30.
