Today, Randstad launches The Engineering Challenge, in close cooperation with engineers of the Formula 1 Williams Racing team.
This Challenge is aimed at professionals in mechanical engineering and consists of three laps, each running for a week. The smartest and quickest problem-solvers are in the running to win great prizes, such as tickets to a Formula 1 race and an exclusive visit to the Williams factory in Grove (UK) and a meet & greet with Williams engineers on site. The Engineering Challenge will run simultaneously across six countries: Australia, Belgium, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

Within the Randstad Group, we have over 55 years of experience in all areas of engineering. 'Engineers are problem crunchers, and the Engineering Challenge appeals to that,' says Joost Schriever, responsible for the Williams partnership at Randstad Holding. 'Promoting education and career opportunities in STEM profiles is crucial in a labor market where technical skills are in high demand. With the Challenge, we hope to attract more engineers and help to fulfill the increasing demand for this target group.'
