At Alistar, you’ll develop into a fully-fledged consultant in three phases. In Phase 3, we’ll use workshops and talent days to ensure you’re ready for your new career in IT consulting.
The Alistar IT traineeship is currently available only in the Netherlands.
In the third phase, you’ll have plenty of freedom to take the initiative and manage your own work. You’ll bring your own ideas to life and set up your own way of working. But of course, with freedom comes responsibility. Would you enjoy leading training sessions? Do you have a great idea for a new digital solution? You’ll have every opportunity to take on those initiatives. But the drive has to come from you. We’re looking for people with intrinsic motivation who want to make an even bigger impact than they already do.
Next is the final phase of the IT Growth Program and is designed for experienced consultants who are ready to advance into more senior roles such as project leaders and IT experts. It is a customized training program, allowing you to develop exactly the skills you need. We supplement this with group training sessions focused on peer review, networking, and collaboration.
During this phase of the Alistar traineeship, you’ll work for our clients in roles such as:

This is led by experienced, external trainers who’ll teach you the necessary consulting skills and introduce you further to the world of DevOps, Agile, and Enterprise Architecture. Plus, there’s plenty of opportunity to meet your colleagues and share knowledge and experiences with one another.

At Alistar, we’re always looking for new high-potential candidates in (or near) the Randstad. View our current job openings here.
We are a casual yet professional company, full of driven and ambitious people. We work together, celebrate our successes, and really value new ideas and personal initiative.
Yes, you’ll simply receive a salary. As you earn certifications and gain experience, your salary will increase accordingly. We have an entire system in place for this—the ‘Career Development System,’ as we call it. That’s nice to know.
In the Deep Dive program, you’ll work 32 hours at our partner’s office and have one fixed training day at our office. You’ll be paid as usual for these days as well.
In the IT Traineeship, you work 40 hours a week and do most of your learning in your free time. That takes about five to ten hours a week. This balance changes in the Deep Dive.
At Alistar, you’ll have your own personal Career Manager. They’ll guide your development as you become an IT Consultant, based on an annual GROW cycle. You’ll also become part of a community of experienced colleagues who are happy to help you along the way. Discover here Stories from our IT professionals.
This varies by phase and project. You’ll typically work on a project with an Alistar partner for 6–12 months at a time. During that period, you’ll become familiar with the processes, methods, and systems. You’ll carry the lessons learned from each experience with you to your next challenge. We’ll tell you more about this during the assessment day.
We have partners located throughout the Randstad. When finding the right project for you, we always take your commute time into account and consider whether the challenge is a good fit for you.
Phase 1 – IT Traineeship: lasts one to one and a half years, depending on how quickly you develop. Phase 2 – Deep Dive: lasts one to one and a half years, depending on how quickly you develop.

We’ll call you first for a brief introductory conversation. If we hit it off, we’ll invite you to an assessment day. Our assessment days are designed to provide you with detailed information about our IT Growth Program. We’ll also determine whether you’re a good fit for the company—and we expect the same from you. We’ll do this through aptitude tests, group assignments, and one-on-one interviews. At the end of the day, we may offer you a permanent contract.
No. Our IT Growth Program is currently offered only in Dutch.
