As a Calco MasterClass Professional, I participated in a two-year traineeship to become an IT professional. The first two months of the traineeship consisted of an educational program at Calco’s headquarters in Maarssen. During this period I gained knowledge about different functions and processes in IT and I followed a specialisation course that matches my interests and skills (i.e. programmer). In addition, an important part of the traineeship focused on the development of soft skills, such as presentation and communication skills. After the educational program had been completed, I worked for one of our clients for a period of 22 months. Whilst working there I further developed my skills on the job. A field manager from Calco coached and supervised me during this period, and together we created a personal development plan in order to continue my personal development.  After successfully completing the two-year traineeship, I became an internal employee at the client's company, ING.
