Young Colfield

Start your career with the Young Colfield Talent Programme Traineeship!

Do you have at least two years of working experience, and are looking for the first or next step in your career? Do you want to grow from a promising starter to a confident young professional with insights into your unique qualities and value? Then our Talent Programme is something for you!

Who are we?

Young Colfield is a place where young professionals set the world in motion from a place of self awareness. Our core values – involvement, enjoyment, ownership and genuineness – form the basis of everything that we do.

For us, it’s about more than just generating work experience: It is about personal growth, self awareness, and discovering your own unique qualities. Using personal and substantive guidance, we stimulate you to gain insight into your strong points, pitfalls, and how you can make an impact in a way that suits you.

We believe in the power of healthy ambition, and encourage you to present yourself, with all your qualities and individuality. You work in an environment where experimenting and educating yourself are priorities, supported by intensive coaching and a close-knit team of co trainees. 

What will you do?

In a timespan of two years, you will get the chance to apply your knowledge and qualities during the challenging jobs at diverse clients like ING, ABN Amro, Budbee, Nidos, innovative start-ups, large municipalities, and other government institutions. On average, you complete about three projects of approximately six to eight months with several different clients. This can be in roles as project manager, innovation manager, business consultant, or customer journey expert. This gives you the opportunity to explore what function and what organisation best fits you personally, and where your unique qualities are best put to use. Next to that, you discover a lot about yourself in diverse situations and circumstances.

Personal development process

During these two years you also undergo  an intensive personal development process next to your projects. This consists of one-on-one coaching from a talent manager and an extensive training programme. You get both hard skill training (Scrum, Lean, Presentation training, Change Management, Consultancy skills), and soft skill training (Expectation management, Personal vision, MBTI-personality profile, boxing as a mirror for behaviour). You follow this programme with seven other trainees, with whom you will create a close bond.

Would you rather have an IT-traineeship in which the focus is on one organisation?

Look no further than our Young Expert Program. This is a one year traineeship in which you work for one client, as a Business Analyst, Software Engineer, or developer. Here you also get personal coaching and aid from Young Colfield and you will also be in a team of trainees.

Cohesiveness and Enjoyment

Next to our decisiveness and ambition, we also put the focus on Cohesiveness within our organisation. Throughout the year, we organise a diverse array of (in-) formal activities, invite guest speakers to speak, and we go on a yearly ski and sail trip, and even organise our own festival!

So, do you want to start at clients like Woonstad Rotterdam, ING, Budbee, The municipality of the Hague, or ABN AMRO, and simultaneously also develop personally? Take a look at our website, or come by soon for a cup of coffee for one of our inhouse days.
