IT Traineeship Amsterdam

The IT Traineeship Amsterdam in brief

Do you want to make the switch to IT? The IT traineeship in Amsterdam at Alistar gives you the opportunity to start your IT career, regardless of your background. Whether or not you have completed a university of applied sciences (hbo) or university (wo) degree, you are welcome with us. As a trainee, you receive a paid position in which you gain relevant work experience and obtain more than 10 official certificates.

The IT traineeship consists of three phases: the IT traineeship in Amsterdam, Deep Dive and Next. In the first phase, you work for top-200 companies such as Deloitte, PWC, BAM, Rabobank and ITQ. You receive personal guidance and develop yourself into an IT consultant. You receive a permanent contract, work 40 hours per week (we advise you to additionally spend 4 hours per week on self-study) and can count on growth opportunities within the organization.

During our IT traineeship in Amsterdam, you learn everything you need during your job, whether or not you already have some experience. The technologies and tools that we and our clients use are constantly evolving. Therefore, you learn to properly understand the technologies we use most and you learn how to use them.

You obtain the required certificates for, among others, Microsoft 365, Azure and various Windows systems. Furthermore, you become acquainted with data analysis and delve into software development methodologies.

To learn to work effectively in complex organizations, you learn how to present your ideas in an attractive way and how to communicate with colleagues and clients.

You gain insight into how our organization works, from the shop floor to management. In addition, you learn to be proactive and to manage your time efficiently, through specific processes and methods. That is quite handy!

Every organization has its own way of working. During the traineeship, you learn the hard and soft skills needed to become a full-fledged consultant. For example, you learn to work with Scrum. This way, you achieve results in short sprints and quickly take steps to improve various products.

You become part of a close-knit and ambitious organization, a community that welcomes you with open arms and keeps challenging you to get the best out of yourself and Alistar. You work from the office of our partners or at our office, where you can rely on the expertise of experienced fellow consultants. On Fridays, we have drinks together in our own bar.

You are ready for a new career in IT but have little or no experience in this world. You want to develop yourself and are willing to invest considerable time and energy in that process. You understand people and have a strong sense of responsibility to help yourself and others forward.

Since its founding in 1999, Alistar has grown from a small IT company into an international organization that helps companies work smarter by connecting people, data and technology. Despite growth and technological developments, the core has remained the same: an innovative, entrepreneurial culture in which technology is used as a means of progress. By bundling talent, expertise, data and innovation in agile teams that achieve great impact.

To keep developing, we have been training our own consultants since 2013. Consultants who make an impact and keep going where others stop. We believe that what people want and can do is more important than what is only on their CV. With that mindset, we guide high potentials in their development into IT consultants.

We are curious doers. Challengers. Dreamers who really make it happen. For us, technology is not a buzzword, but a lever for progress for our clients, within our teams and in our own operations. We think tech, but speak human.
