Carlotta

Before joining STX, I studied Management of Technology at Delft University of Technology. What I like about the traineeship is that I get the opportunity to see STX’s activities from different angles, and from that I really get a complete understanding of the whole trade life cycle. Moreover, experiencing different activities and covering different roles is really helping me to discover and uncover my potentials, my passions, and my objectives for the future. As someone new to working, getting the opportunity to sort of taste test potential careers is so helpful. This traineeship really gives me the opportunity to develop helpful business-specific knowledge and skills from scratch – and at such a fast pace that I always feel engaged with what I am doing and busy with purpose!

Victor

I studied Financial Economics at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. What I find most appealing about the Traineeship is its unique opportunity to rotate through five diverse roles within only 1.5 years. This immersive experience gives you a good understanding of the entire company and all the different roles within STX. Enabling yourself to make a well-informed decision about preferred role at STX once the traineeship concludes.

Samuel

Before joining STX, I studied Quantitative Finance at the University of Amsterdam in Amsterdam. What I like about the Traineeship is the steep learning curve, being surrounded by smart and ambitious people with different profiles from all over the world and being active in new developing markets in the world of renewable energy with a lot of growth potential in the future.
