Are you at the start of your career and looking to learn on the job? At TenCate Protective Fabrics, you’ll get the chance to gain experience in an international company that is firmly rooted in The Netherlands.
We offer internships, graduation assignments and work-study programmes (BBL) across various departments — from production and engineering to logistics and R&D. You will work on real projects and receive personal guidance from experienced colleagues who are happy to share their knowledge.
Do you want to learn and work at the same time? Then you can join us as a BBL student for Operator A or B. You’ll learn the trade directly at our production site in Nijverdal while earning a recognised qualification. We don’t just look at your education — motivation and attitude are just as important. With the right commitment, you can grow into a fully qualified operator or even a team leader.
We work closely with various educational institutions in Twente and Overijssel, such as ROC van Twente and Saxion. Together, we ensure that education and practice align well. This helps students get the most out of themselves — and discover whether textiles, technology or production is the right path for them.
✅ Practical experience in an international organisation
✅ Guidance from experienced professionals
✅ Room to learn, explore and grow

Whether you join us on the production floor, do research at the office or start as a BBL student — at TenCate Protective Fabrics you help create something that truly matters: protecting the people that communities rely on.
