As a proud member of Innovation Cluster Drachten (ICD)* we were happy to host a socalled
ICD Internship Event. Our trainees Channah Vogel, Jesper Spraakman and Thijs van der Knaap enthusiastically organised an interesting program for the trainees of the other ICD partners, like Neopost and Whisper Power. Besides paying attention to the general activities of ASTRON and the activities of the R&D department more specifically, Channah, Jesper and Thijs gave a presentation on their traineeship here at ASTRON, on their tasks and their experiences thus far. A tour of the R&D facilities and a visit to the Dwingeloo telescope were also part of the program. It is great to host such a group of interested young people. Hopefully the visit to ASTRON will inspire these students to actually look for a high-tech job at companies like ASTRON or the other ICD partners after their graduation.
In the coming months similar Internship Events will be organised by the trainees of the other ICD partners.
(*) ICD is an internationally active ecosystem of collaborating high-tech companies and knowledge institutes operating at the forefront of innovation and competitive on the global market. In 2017 ASTRON became a member of the ICD.
