See here in 2 minutes how we worked with D'Ieteren Mobility Company and MAN long-term cooperation.
The Greenpower Challenge puts your company in touch annually with more than 1,000 new and enthusiastic talents who are passionate about engineering, technology and engineering.
A partnership with Greenpower can structurally increase the influx of your talent pool and put your company in the spotlight as an attractive employer.
We provide a structural solution: Annually, we put your company in touch with more than 1,000 new young people with an interest in engineering.
Identify future employees before they enter the job market. Your future employees build their future with Greenpower!
We organise annual events where your company can present itself to technically interested young people in a spontaneous and relaxed way.
In this way, young people quickly discover what your company does, get to know your staff and get a taste of the atmosphere within the company.
We ensure that your business is both on national as well as local level in contact comes with educational institutions and young people.
First, we establish contacts and organise an introductory meeting when the kit is delivered. We also plan several events every year aimed at networking and further introductions
Together with companies, we offer a unique challenge to class groups and university students. And we do so through a realistic, playful and competitive project, the Greenpower Challenge: designing, building and "racing" an electric single-seater car. Greenpower Challenge: Designing, building and "racing" an electric single-seater car.
Young people more readily choose careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths if they know which companies they can work in, what exciting jobs there are, what enthusiastic colleagues they will meet there, how fun and challenging it can be.
MAN Truck & Bus meanwhile, can look back on a 3-year partnership with Greenpower Benelux & France, an organisation that acts as a bridge between young people in technical fields, technical schools and the partners. Scholars from participating schools will have the opportunity to sink their teeth into a green racing project that ties in with their education, specifically designing, building and racing an electric gocart.
Apprenticeships with the partners also bring them into contact with MAN as a potential employer, an option they would often not otherwise immediately consider and one that is extremely important for us in the "war for talent". Started via our own subsidiaries with 4 teams (schools), this proved to be an extremely effective way of reaching young people with technical training. Thus, the use of trainees has already resulted in permanent recruitment as technicians on several occasions.
Meanwhile, we work together with no fewer than 12 schools and 1 in 3 of our MAN private concessionaires have also enthusiastically jumped on the bandwagon. The ideal opportunity therefore to organise an informal "get together" yesterday in our MAN Academy with the schools, MAN concessionaires and the importer where the emphasis was on further optimising the cooperation and expanding the teams. We are once again loyal supporters!
At the right time, with the right students. For example, at schools where your current staff have studied, and with students who will soon be applying for jobs in your region or company. Because in the meantime, they know your company.
They have discovered that working with you is interesting, exciting, challenging and meaningful. That the atmosphere is good, and that they work with you on projects they will successfully complete.
Put your company in the spotlight as an attractive employer at our job fair at finals in zolder. This is the highlight of the year for young technicians and over >1500 talents are present here!
An ideal opportunity to get acquainted in both directions. On the one hand, the young people with your company and, on the other hand, your company with the young people.
An ideal opportunity to present your products and vacancies.
"We support and sponsor several teams. Because it is very difficult for us as a company to reach the youth. Because of the Greenpower Challenge, we have a much better contact with educational institutions. Our aim is to enthuse and motivate students in technical fields to come and work for us. And we are succeeding! Meanwhile, there are already students who have offered to come and do holiday work."
As a non-profit organisation, Greenpower Benelux relies on considerable cooperation from companies, investors, individuals, ambassadors and volunteers, who contribute in time and/or resources. This is because we all believe in a common vision to inspire young people around STEM careers.
