It is summer. The trainee year has come to an end. It has been a year of learning and hard work, but especially of gaining many nice and new experiences. Awaiting a fresh group of trainees for the coming year, we asked former trainee Elin Wassenaar what the trainee year was like.
‘I am Elin. I am a technical trainee at TinQwise. It is my job to ensure that we devise concepts as a team, making optimum use of the technical possibilities that are in conformity with the client’s wishes and demands. Additionally, it is my responsibility to make sure the solution works properly.’
‘In previous jobs at a publishing company and a training institute, I discovered what I like best: ensuring that content finds its way to a user in the best possible way. By “the best possible way” I mean that the medium should be user-friendly and that it should look fine, but also that it should be consistent with the content. After all, the content is crucial in meeting the learning objectives. During my trainee year, it was my personal objective to find out more about the technical possibilities, so that technology not only supports the content and the concept, but also improves them even further.”
‘The variety in projects is the reason why I love doing my job. It is often the clients that make a project fun, not only in terms of company or demand, but also the people who actually work there. I liked setting up an onboarding platform for Stedin, but I also got energised by making four new languages available for Live it Up! from Hunkemöller.’
‘The first time I took on the role of technical specialist entirely independently, in our project for Stedin. Of course not everything went as smoothly as I had wished, but it was an interesting learning process, and I still love to show people the end result.’
‘I continue as a technical specialist at TinQwise to work on many other super projects and develop further. The only drawback of working at TinQwise is that you are never able to do everything simultaneously. I still haven’t tired of my field of work or my colleagues!’
‘When I had worked here for one month, we went to a farm in the province of North Brabant for a TinQ weekend. The theme for the Friday night party was “gold & wrong”. What people came up with was unbelievable. It appeared to be typical of how fond everybody here is of props! On every occasion, something new pops up!’
‘If you get energised from a world that never stops and want to discover the best way to contribute to our learning solutions by doing, a traineeship at TinQwise is something for you!’
