Data Engineering

Already working with reports, spreadsheets or dashboards, and want to turn that into a career? The Heroes Academy is a six-month paid traineeship that gives you a solid start as a BI engineer on Power BI and Microsoft Fabric: three months of hands-on training, followed by three months of real project work. About the academy The Academy starts on Monday 1 February 2027 at our office in Utrecht. In the first three months, you’ll train in short, intensive sprints. Together with the Data Engineering trainees, you’ll start with the foundations of data, learn how to use generative AI in your daily work as a data professional, build a strong base in SQL and data modelling, and see how data projects are run in practice. In the BI Engineering track, you’ll then focus on Power BI. You’ll model data into semantic models that are easy to use, design clear and effective reports, write DAX and tune report performance, and manage your Power BI work with version control. The training ends with a two-week capstone project where you bring it all together. Along the way, you’ll prepare for Microsoft certifications, and Heroes covers all exam costs. In the final three months, you’ll put your skills to work on client or internal projects. Heroes works with organisations such as Eneco, Unica, TenneT, the City of Breda, the City of Zwolle, GNT (Exberry), Swiss Sense and Kentalis. Key requirements 1
