SEO

Our traineeship is a combination of theory and practice. The first, theoretical part of the traineeship focuses on the three pillars of SEO: content, tech, and authority. But SEO is way more than that, so you will also be introduced to the world of data analysis (using a variety of tools), SEO strategies, and roadmaps. Since the goal of the traineeship is to shape you into a professional consultant, we also focus on improving your consultancy skills. Each training is rounded off by executing a practical internal assignment, so you will also learn by doing. Once you have a solid base of SEO knowledge, you will also be introduced to client work. This ‘learning by doing’ method is an important part of the traineeship.

You will work in a vibrant environment with clever minds who work for various large Dutch and global clients. Yes, we are eager to hire the most talented experts in the game, but we are also looking for the perfect DEPT fit. Someone who is eager to learn, inspires, who strives towards a better world, takes the stage, who is a futurist at heart, and someone who will toast to a successful week with us. We strongly support diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Ultimately, we are looking for a unique individual who is able to strengthen our collective.
