Sofie van Veen, MBO-intern Content Production
A small start in a large organization
'I always feel heard by my colleagues, and I’m always asked about my view on things. I’m given all kinds of tasks and can really get to work: from podcast recordings and shoot days to creating content for all UvA channels. But everyone in my team helps me with all my questions and explains everything as clearly as possible. You’re challenged, without being thrown in at the deep end.'
'I’m given plenty of freedom and opportunities to develop and explore broadly. Even if I can’t do something yet, my colleagues show me how. I’ve made a lot of progress that’s useful not only at the UvA but also beyond. As a result, I’ve improved in every aspect. I genuinely feel like a valued member of my team.'
