Questions about working in tech
Not every technical role requires a diploma. Practical experience, technical insight and a willingness to learn are often just as important. For specialised roles, such as engineer, work planner or project leader, a technical vocational (MBO) or higher professional education (HBO) degree is usually required. At Yes tech careers, we mainly look at your knowledge, experience and ambitions.
MBO roles are often practical and hands-on. Think of roles such as mechanic, technician, operator or service employee. HBO roles usually focus more on designing, analysing, improving and coordinating, such as engineer, work planner or project leader. In practice, the levels sometimes overlap and with experience you can grow into a role at HBO level.
As a tech professional, you can work in many different sectors. Think of high-tech, machine building, food, pharma, chemicals, aerospace, energy, water, infrastructure and industrial automation. Which sector suits you best depends on your technical background, interests and ambitions.
