Towards a more inclusive society to raise awareness of basic skills gaps

In the Netherlands, 2.5 million people struggle daily with reading, writing, math, and digital skills, also called basic skills.

New Intern Martijn de Kleijn

My name is Martijn de Kleijn and I am 23 years old. I have been living in beautiful Eindhoven since the day I was born. I am working at Eindhoven Engine because of my fourth-year internship at Fontys. My thesis will be about (brand) awareness of Eindhoven Engine and the process for students who are searching for a thesis internship. So, I will be investigating how and where students from Fontys and TU/e look for internships.

Feel free to contact me if you have any tips regarding these two topics.
