Trainee activities

Alongside your assignments, you will dedicate about 20% of your time to engaging in trainee activities. These events focus on networking and knowledge-sharing across departments, borders, and even different companies. Plus, you have the chance to bring your own ideas to life and take these initiatives further.

Trainee meetings

In the monthly Trainee Meetings you share your insights with fellow trainees. In these sessions you present about your assignments and have discussions on current topics and organizational matters. Often colleagues from outside the traineeship are invited to share about their work, and trends and developments.

Trainee consultancy

In the Trainee Consulting Initiative you can take on short-term projects from various business units in an interdisciplinary and motivated project team of fellow trainees. This initiative allows you to collaborate in self-organized project teams, in which you gain valuable hands-on experience in project management while enhancing your visibility across the company. It is an exciting opportunity to make an impact and highlight your skills.

Networking Events

At our Networking Events, you can engage with colleagues from various departments. They share their insights about their work or have a chat about relevant developments inside and outside TenneT. These gatherings not only help build your professional network but also provide a chance to explore potential new assignments. They offer great opportunities to connect, learn, and discover where your interests might align within the company.

Energiedragers

Energiedragers is the collaborative initiative of the five largest Dutch energy network operators, designed to address shared challenges and have fun in an engaging learning environment. During the events and meetings of Energiedragers we exchange knowledge, to enhance both your professional development and to enlarge your network in the energy sector.

The NETT

To go even more international the Trainees established ‘The NETT – The Network of European TSO Trainees’. Currently including seven different European TSOs, they organise real-life events, virtual brown bag lunches and offer all Trainees a platform to exchange knowledge about energy-related topics. This network was based on ENTSO-E, the European association for the cooperation of TSOs for electricity.

Trainee excursions

Additionally the Trainees come up with own ideas like visiting the Trainee colleagues of 50 Hertz in Berlin to explore our Virtual Vision and listen to exciting presentations of external Policy Advisors.

Trainees @ TenneT

The Trainee group is a safe space and support system during your working hours. But it does not stop there. We regularly meet each other after work, organise trips or go on a vacation together.

"Being a Trainee means being able to invest time in networking and personal development which, in my opinion, creates a big advantage. Also getting to know the work of TenneT and the connections between the departments in great detail. And most importantly, always having access to the crowd knowledge and experiences of the trainee group, the most supportive network."

Lilith Schacherer, Large Projects Trainee Germany

"The Trainee group is an intercultural mixture of young and motivated people which could be friend, colleague and family in one way."

Anna Schreiber, Supply Chain Management Trainee Germany

"I would say that the typical Trainee is easy going, loves social interaction and is always ready to help. Just one big family."

Aernout Klokgieters, Trainee Netherlands
