About the program
Lots of impact. Lots of growth opportunities. And lots of fun. That’s what the Discover traineeship is all about. Actually, we should add ‘lots of variety’, because you’ll complete three different (and equally challenging!) projects during your-traineeship. Two of these projects will be tailored to your studies and background. The third will pull you out of your comfort zone and put you to work in a business unit with a completely different focus. Can you make a positive impact there, too?
Set your own course
The Discover traineeship is the ultimate fast track to a challenging career in an organization that uses innovative technology to connect people. With each other. And with the rest of the world. In a 1,5 year program, you’ll discover who you are, what you’re capable of, where you want to be, and how you can get there with us. You’ll set your own course. This is what makes your traineeship unique.

A trip down memory lane
Service Designer Dravis and Category Manager Juan Pablo both started their career at VodafoneZiggo as trainees. We interviewed them and asked them how they look back on their Discover Traineeship three years later. These are their stories:
After your traineeship
After your traineeship ends, we want to keep your career on track. So together we’ll discuss what role suits you best. Not what role you could fulfill, but the one you want, in which your entrepreneurship comes to fruition and you can make a real difference for customers on a daily basis.
