Retail chain Zeeman is launching an internal training programme for starters. They will help the company with the digital transformation in which the textile giant is shaking up its processes, organisation and ICT systems. Participants in the two-year programme can develop their digital knowledge and skills and put them to work for the company. Seaman also hopes to keep them on board afterwards.
The traineeship has been set up together with post-graduate training provider Digiship. Starters work together with experienced employees on projects in e-commerce, data analysis, business intelligence and customer experience. Candidates are supervised by both subject teachers and a personal growth and development coach from Beeckestijn Business School. Besides working on business and technical data projects and processes, participants are trained in presentation techniques, self-reflection and agile working, among other things.
The retail chain is currently implementing a number of major ict innovations including a new Microsoft Dynamics ERP system. According to interim ict director Menno van Drunen, who started 1 February 2022, a lot of catching up is being done. Zeeman is being prepared for the new way of working, a cloud-first strategy and getting its ict security in order, among other things. Internal logistics and customer service should also improve.
