Discover your talents at the Starting Point

The Starting Point maps out your skills, qualities and job opportunities. You will learn about your strong points, what suits you best and what you can still work on. After the Starting Point, you will know what your next step will be.

You will work 96 hours, spread over a number of weeks, on a production allocation at Werkse! During your working days, you will be invited to other parts of the Starting Point. These include (digital) tests and games. After all components you will have a final interview and receive a report with all the information. Read more about all components of the Starting Point below.

During your working days, we will gain a better understanding of your employee skills. Think about following work instructions, working together and following a work rhythm. We will also invite you to assess your employee skills yourself. That way, you can indicate what you think you are good at and where you still have something to learn.

Like everyone else, you have talents. With different games and questions on the computer, we discover more about these talents and who you are as a person.

Three skill tests give further insight into what you are good at, and what you are less good at. For example, we ask you to put something together and sort it.

In this section, we map out your physical condition, agility and strength. Together with a trainer, you will do a number of exercises.

Experience multiple work environments and work types with our VR glasses. Which profession suits you? With the VR glasses, you can experience this for yourself.

In this final interview, we explain what came out of each section. You will receive a report with all the information about it. Together, we discuss what your next step will be.
