This April, NN Group has launched a new programme with the Hogeschool Utrecht in the Netherlands to enable IT colleagues to obtain a post-HBO diploma, accelerating their IT career.
About the course
The two-year course will provide NN's community of young IT professionals with the foundation for a challenging IT career. It will cover strategic IT topics and important soft skills, to build a solid strategic and tactical IT background.
By using real case studies from NN, participants will get a helicopter view of the IT organisation and learn to see the bigger picture at a strategic level. As the programme is exclusively for NN colleagues, it will also provide valuable networking opportunities.
Barbara Duinker, Head of CIO Office at NN Group, says: “We want to empower colleagues to be at their best, and this programme with Hogeschool Utrecht supports their ongoing professional development. I am proud to announce this special collaboration which will see many of our young talents obtain a qualification that will set them up well for their future in IT.”
Guido Ongena, Associate Professor & Programme Director Master of Informatics at Hogeschool Utrecht, says: ICT Deeltijdopleidingen - Hogeschool Utrecht is delighted to develop a training programme for young IT talent from NN. The two-year course covers topics such as digital strategy, project management, digital transformation and personal development. A good example of lifelong learning.’
