Bridging the gap
In such an innovative and forever-changing industry, the possibilities for technical specialists are endless. “Atlas sees opportunities to train specialists in E-Technology and automation. We discovered that technical graduates find it difficult to move into E-technology because of the gap in their theoretical and practical knowledge”, says Marvin van Dijk, Account Manager Engineering & Project Controls and initiator of the Traineeship. “Therefore, in close collaboration with our clients and partners, we have developed a new traineeship program that is designed to train technical specialists within 18 months as a junior in automation and E-technology to be able to start with one of our reputable clients.”
Atlas strives to ensure that this traineeship allows the next generation to have the qualifications and skillsets to carry out operations in E-Technology and automation in a safe, reliable and competent manner.
