I wanted to work for a local company. Through Bouwmensen, I was able to start at Van Santvoort Bouw in Veldhoven and at the same time start at Summa. I had already learned a few things during my summer job, but I'm glad I took the training course. I'm much better at setting things up, and now I finish everything neatly. It might sound strange, but I've also become much more adept at using a drill/driver.
It's a great time to start working in construction. Demand is high, and the pay is also increasing. If you're handy, have a hands-on mentality, and have some insight, you can start the training right away.
