It is important that everyone is treated equally. Interns often have an innovative view of things and we find that input extra important and we use it in our daily work. “At Altrex, your assignments are adapted to what you like or seem to like to do, so you learn what you really want and Altrex has more to do with your final work," says Pim Wabeke, trainee Marketing department. “As a trainee, you give a fresh look at ongoing processes, because you are not really in the organisation yet and I notice that people like that very much”, he adds.
In addition to Altrex offering many internship opportunities, Altrex also offers opportunities for further growth. As many as 20% of our employees are former trainees.
“I feel that I have not been involved in repetitive work or typical 'staging jobs'. Especially compared to the secondary vocational education internship I've done before. So I really felt part of the team and I felt free to share my ideas." ~ Gerjan Hertgers, online marketer
"I have experienced my internship as fun and educational. Through Altrex's internship policy, you work a lot with the organisation and get the feeling of contributing to the organisation as a whole. This also allows you to get in touch with different jobs at the same time. The main reason I came back to Altrex is its products and related capabilities. A building surrounded by our scaffolding or where our suspended platform is attached, that remains cool." ~ Finn Foks, Account manager Rentals
