Hi, I'm Jan Schmidt. I'm the person to contact if you're interested in an IT apprenticeship at MEIKO. The world of IT is fascinating but can also be frustrating: no other profession experiences as many changes and major upheavals as this one! Of course as IT specialists we're used to coping with change – in fact we absolutely relish it! Staying on the ball, delving into new areas and helping to shape the changes around us are some of the key characteristics of our work. And of course traditional values play an important role too, because change requires structure and properly defined rules. It's all about having the confidence to maintain a balance. If you can do that, then welcome to MEIKO!
