Internship at Fruitconsult

Fruitconsult is always open to interns. As an intern it is important to develop yourself, Fruitconsult and FRC Randwijk offer ample opportunities for this.

Interns from WO/HBO can participate in the research and advice that Fruitconsult carries out within Fruitconsult. The intern will spend most of the time at FRC Randwijk and will conduct research at FRC Randwijk in collaboration with the researchers of Fruitconsult. However, each intern is also offered the opportunity to spend a few days during the internship with the advisors of Fruitconsult during company visits. In this way, an intern gets a good picture of the fruit growing sector in the Netherlands.

Interns from MBO are also very welcome at Fruitconsult. There are also many opportunities for MBO interns to further develop themselves. An MBO intern will spend a large part of their time at FRC Randwijk. On the one hand, FRC Randwijk performs similar activities as those performed at a fruit growing company. However, this is often on a smaller scale, with many more different crops (apples, pears, cherries, plums and red currants), varieties and plant systems. In addition to the activities at FRC Randwijk, the intern will also have the opportunity to occasionally help with the research that is carried out at FRC Randwijk by Fruitconsult.
