Testimonial
Bredenoord, an international company from Apeldoorn that provides energy solutions, had Wittenborg student Ishebo Twijukye as an intern:
“What struck us was Ishebo’s willingness - no matter the task, he took it on. Interns of other universities can often be picky when it comes to tasks and assignments. Ishebo's theoretical level of understanding was more than sufficient and working with him was a pleasant experience. He impressed us with his connections in Uganda and Tanzania and was willing to do other tasks outside his intern assignments. We are open to more interns from Wittenborg.” - Zef Jansen, Export Department
