The VO traineeship has been nothing short of an amazing journey.
We received extensive introduction presentations from different departments, which provided a great way to know the company. We also received many safety trainings & soft skill trainings, which we used in our Project Periods.

As a global marine contractor, we focus on dredging, land infrastructure in the Netherlands, offshore wind and oil & gas infrastructure. We work closely and safely with our clients and stakeholders to create innovative and sustainable solutions. Our purpose is to create a better world for future generations by delivering Marine ingenuity.

Our purpose and mission have four main drivers. The growing world population needs more space. Maritime transport requires new and improved infrastructure. Climate change demands better coastal protection. The demand for energy is growing and a renewable energy system is essential to providing the energy needed for the future. We have defined four values that describe how we achieve our business goals: we create, we care, we work together and we succeed.
