Inspire & connect with young engineers

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. 

Why choose Greenpower?

Creating talent pool

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!

Employer branding

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.

cooperating with education

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

HOW DO WE WORK?

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.

"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."

The new way of recruiting.

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.

From school to the corporate world

By bringing potential talent and companies together around the Greenpower Challenge, we can:

  • improve the flow-through to the workplace because we increase the skills of future applicants,
  • tackle the difficult search and "war for talent" because we connect companies with potential employees at an early stage,

The companies and organisations that support us share this conviction.
