Together with a great group of young professionals from all over the world, our colleague Maaike Broeksma finished the first training of this 2-year programme.

Young Expert Programmes supports young professionals in the food and water sector who work and live in an international context by offering training and coaching, and by giving them access to a global network where knowledge, experiences and opportunities can be exchanged.

In Maaike’s words:

“I experienced the past three weeks of training as highly valuable – we not only covered a wide range of interesting topics such as intercultural communication, personal development, and inclusive innovation, but we also had meaningful conversations from different perspectives, and above all, made new friends” 

She continues:

“I look forward to working further on my personal development and coming challenges – that will most definitely occur – with my YEP-coach Natascha Soons, and of course to my next step: moving to Nairobi, Kenya.”
