Greetings everyone!
My name is Theodore, I am a Data Analytics Trainee at Dept and this is a short story about my traineeship so far.
Finishing your studies is in itself very stressful, and as if that is not enough, this is the time when most students must also…

DEPT® aims to bring together ambitious experts who strive to be the best in their respective fields. The goal of DEPT® is to recruit passionate professionals and talented individuals in the areas of data, technology, and creativity. By providing opportunities for skill development and growth, DEPT® nurtures these talented individuals in their offices in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. However, talent alone is not enough; DEPT® seeks individuals who embody the perfect DEPT® fit. This means finding individuals who have an insatiable appetite for learning, can inspire others with their boundless enthusiasm, are committed to self-improvement, and can seamlessly transition from serious work to Friday afternoon mode.

Many of our people started their journey at DEPT® as an intern or trainee, stayed on as a working student or junior and are now top players in their fields. Joining DEPT® gives you the opportunity to get these chances too.

Organizational, proactive, analytical and creative: that’s how we would describe your internship at the DEPT® Marketing team. You’ll help with optimizing the DEPT® website and supporting our social media strategy. And you’ll organize events. Lots of em. From talks to panels and parties. Did anyone say DEPT® Fest? In other words: during this internship you’ll learn all the tricks of the marketing trade.

As a Sales intern, you’ll become part of the Sales team where you will look for interesting potential new customers, qualify incoming leads, contribute to a streamlined sales process and support the team with the organization of events. If you’re more into finance, not to worry: you’ll also dive into the financial side of things, getting to know what turnovers, operational costs and hourly rates actually entail. Of course you won’t have to figure all of this out on your own: a group of creative colleagues will help you become the best version of yourself.

During our Strategy internship you will help with innovations, strategic transformations and all kinds of solutions. From deep-diving into the latest trends and analyzing markets, to workshop prepping and creating top-notch presentations for clients, shareholders or Depsters.. Whether you’re a strategist in one of our business teams or for DEPT® itself, we’ll make sure that at the end of this internship you fully understand market growth, competition and how to successfully implement strategies.

Do you understand people? Are you great at communication and an organizer by heart? Then we’re looking for you. Because at DEPT® we offer different internships within the Recruitment and People & Culture Team (HR). As a Recruitment intern you will help us find new talent and we will teach you the recruitment process inside out. And as part of the People & Culture team you will help us with all the questions from our very own Depsters and support the administration of contracts and mutations.
