Mechatronics Technician (bol)

As a mechatronics technician, you can work as a draftsman, designer, production technician, project engineer, work planner, or assembly technician, for example. There's a list of over 500 companies offering internships and work placements. These include well-known companies like ASML, VDL, Bavaria, and Neways. But there are also many smaller companies in our region that would love to see you. You can also continue your studies at a university of applied sciences (HBO) program.

Start your technical training with the right equipment

Are you choosing a future in the high-tech and semiconductor industry? Then you are choosing a field where standards are high. You will work with complex systems, digitalization, and precision software. A professional education includes professional equipment you can rely on.

To support you with this, there is the government initiative study voucherStudents starting a full-time technical program specializing in the semiconductor industry – a program like this one – receive a voucher worth €500. This voucher serves as a contribution towards the purchase costs of a suitable study laptop via selected partner webshops. This ensures that everyone, regardless of background, can start the program with the right professional equipment.

How does it work?

After your final registration for this course, you will receive more information about redeeming the voucher and the required laptop specifications. Therefore, please wait a little longer before purchasing your laptop.

Powered by Talent for Semicon. You can find more information about the program at talentvoorsemicon.nlAnswers to frequently asked questions and the terms and conditions of the scheme can be found at talentvoorsemicon.nl/voucher.

You'll start your program with a general foundation year. Therefore, when registering, select 'Engineering Technician.
In this foundation year, you'll explore all areas of engineering. Practical assignments will give you plenty of room to explore and experiment. After the first year, you'll choose the direction that suits you best:

• Energy and sustainable installations 
• Mechanical Engineering
• Mechatronics
• Industrial product design

An internship is an important part of your education, which is why you do an internship at a company in all years of study.
