Training Program

Whatever track you choose, everyone takes the same courses with us in the 1st year. Our program ensures that you quickly develop your substantive knowledge, but also your personal leadership and networking skills. In addition, we pay attention to finding the right work-life balance.

Personal leadership 🌟

Within the program you will participate in various group training sessions that will give you insight into your qualities and blind spots. You will discover what energizes you and how you can apply this to your work. This will give you clarity about your ambitions and how you can give shape to them. You will be inspired and challenged by interesting guest speakers, interactive exercises and training through movement.

Networking 🤝

Networking helps in your career and in your personal life. You will end up at a (corporate) startup or at a large multinational, but always in the financial sector. And one thing is for sure, you are going to meet a lot of people! To make sure you meet fellow trainees, other consultants and alumni to share experiences, we organize regular events. This way networking is not only useful, but also fun!

Good work-life balance ⚖️

Our generation is constantly dealing with stress and fatigue. According to a CBS study from 2022, almost half of gen Z'ers say they feel burned out due to high work pressure. We help you by being intentional about work happiness, stress, health and thus finding the right work-life balance.

 

Personal training budget

In addition to the regular training program, you will receive an annual training budget to develop your hard skills. Together with your talent manager and manager, you decide how to use this budget. Your ambitions are central to this. It is important that you choose training that fits the position and environment where you work. In other words, you have the training courses match the knowledge, technical skills and tools that you need in your position, but do not yet possess.

Trainings you can take include: CFA, VBA, Access, Power BI, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and project management trainings.

1-on-1 coaching

During the traineeship or consultancy program, you will be guided by your own talent manager or a performance manager. Thanks to this personal attention, you will learn a lot about your qualities and how best to use your talent. But also what your blind spots are and how to deal with pitfalls. Every month you speak to each other 1-on-1 and look at your development in your hard and soft skills. In addition, you talk about "How do you ensure a good work-life balance?" or "How do you make sure you are up-and-running as quickly as possible?
