Sandra Koster (38) is following the Continuous Learning Program of Adwise Academy. A program in which you develop both yourself and your digital skills under the guidance of experienced subject specialists. "The best part is sparring with the other participants and teachers. Everyone has a different perspective and runs into different things. Together we lift each other to a higher level."
Sandra is a marketing and communications officer at Traas Netherlands, a specialist in pest control, building care and nature care with now four offices throughout the Netherlands. She has held that position for almost two years now and previously worked at DELTA, XL Shop Group, Conrad and from 2008 to 2019 she had her own company in marketing and design called 23Tien. Currently, she also works regularly for the company of her friend (Muralt) who, like Sandra, is originally a graphic designer. "During the lockdown, we bought a laser machine so we weren't sitting with our noses in front of the PC all the time. Not only do we print on paper, but we now laser cut and engrave materials such as wood and acrylic. We are and remain creative centipedes after all. For example, I was a body painter in a distant past."
During her time at Conrad, she met Tom de Haas, who is now Learning & Development Manager at Adwise Academy. "He worked in England and I in the Netherlands, but still we spoke regularly on the phone - a fine colleague. When I saw he was joining Adwise, I started following that company on social media." This is how she found out that Adwise offered various online marketing training courses through Adwise Academy and was setting up the Continuous Learning Program (CLP). Because she is not on a dedicated marketing and communications team at Traas, but is part of the commercial team, she noticed a need to spar with peers. "In addition, I think it's important to keep developing myself. So when I saw a post about CLP from Adwise Academy I decided: that's where I need to be!"
