My name is Johan Holstein. I started with the Arriva Graduate Program in September 2011.
I've finished the program 1 year ago and at the moment I work as a business analyst for
the (bus) region Noord Zuidwest Friesland and Lelystad.
How did you find out about the Arriva trainee programme?
I started as a intern for the department PR & Communications. During my internship I found
out that Arriva had a General Management traineeship. I've heard some positive stories about the
program and decided to apply.
What was the most adventurous thing you have done at Arriva and why?
During the staff function period while working for the Marketing & Sales department I participated
in serveral bus tenders, including the tender of Noord Zuidwest Friesland. What I liked
about working on a tender is that you have to work together with various people from
different departments. The best/fun thing about the Friesland project/tender is that
we won this tender and that I ended up working for this region.
What type of projects would you like to work on in the future?
During the program you where past of an international group. What I liked a lot, was that you had
international projects. At the moment I work for a specific region, while doing some local / nationwide
projects. What I miss at the moment are those international projects.
