HSO Academy: “We hire for attitude, we train for skills” 

"Not your diploma, but your drive. Not your experience, but your curiosity." That seems unthinkable – but not at HSO. "With the right basic attitude, anyone can get started here," says Henk-Jan Brommer, manager of HSO Academy. It sounds ambitious, but practice shows that it works. 

HSO Academy is the corporate university of HSO. Since 2014, people have been prepared here for work as consultants – with a combination of technical training, practical knowledge, and skills. Experienced employees also follow in-depth modules, leadership programs, and soft skills training through HSO Academy. HSO Academy now trains not only HSO employees but also customers – so that they are better prepared for their IT projects and make more efficient use of the HSO solutions that HSO has implemented.  

Joining without prior knowledge?

Fresh out of school, from another industry, or just with a lot of motivation. The journey of new consultants begins in the same place – the Masterclass – an intensive five-week program full of theory, practice, soft skills, and energy. "In five weeks, we turn starters into consultants," says Henk-Jan Brommer. "And it works. More than 500 colleagues have started at HSO this way."

HSO Academy does not look at resumes alone, but mainly at motivation and eagerness to learn. "Even without experience or technical knowledge, you can join," says Henk-Jan. The approach is clear: we hire for attitude, we train for skills. This also makes HSO attractive to career changers and people with an unusual background. "As long as you bring the right basic attitude, we will find a place that fits."

Learning never stops

After onboarding, it really begins. HSO Academy is there for anyone who wants to grow – substantively, professionally, or personally. "We also support people who have been with us for years," says Henk-Jan. "The more senior you become, the more responsibilities change. We also train for that." 

An important principle is horizontal mobility. "If you say: I am ready for something else within HSO, we wholeheartedly support that," says Henk-Jan. "We have all rooms in the house: ERP, CRM, Azure, Modern Workplace, integration, app development, data & AI, OutSystems. If you want to look at another room, there is certainly room for that." 

In addition, there is a wide range of soft skills training. Henk-Jan mentions a few: "We train people in interpersonal skills. About assertiveness, change management, conflict management. We have a wide range of leadership and management training. We have soft skills such as problem-solving ability, risk and root cause analysis, personal leadership, personal presentation."

In other words, as he puts it: "Continuous learning, continuous development – we really try to shape that here. Not as a slogan, but as a way of working; 'Never stop learning,' Henk-Jan summarizes. "We really make that concrete here."
 

Trainers from practice

All training is given by consultants who are active in projects themselves. That is deliberately arranged. "They are people with a lot of practical experience and project experience," he explains. "And they enjoy giving training. They bring that experience directly into the classroom." That does not mean that everyone just becomes a trainer. HSO Academy also invests in the didactic side.  
 
"We have a whole train-the-trainer program," says Henk-Jan. "And all the training we give is evaluated with the participants. Based on that, we also improve our training and the guidance of trainers." He sums it up with a wink: "All Academy trainers are consultants, but not all HSO consultants are Academy trainers."

Training customers

At HSO Academy, they now look beyond their own organization. Customers also make grateful use of the expertise. "We now also train people at our customers," says Henk-Jan. "The gap between the experience of our people and that of the customer is sometimes quite large. By making the knowledge level more equal, we get closer to each other." 

Henk-Jan continues: "We have been involved in these kinds of projects for years. But for many customers, it is the first time. It helps if you train them in advance on what is involved in an implementation. This creates the feeling that we are really doing it together." 

Sharing knowledge as a culture

At HSO, knowledge does not stop at the project or the team. Sharing is embedded in the way of working – and the Academy helps with that. Through knowledge sessions, pizza evenings, and international meet-ups, knowledge is actively shared across teams and countries. "We act as a broker of knowledge," says Henk-Jan. "What is learned locally, we spread to the rest of the organization." 

This is relevant for everyone – from starter to senior, from the Netherlands to the US. Developments in technology, best practices, new tools, or insights: they are shared through the Academy. "We try to reinvent the wheel as little as possible," explains Henk-Jan. "If it works somewhere, we make sure others benefit from it." 

And it does not stay internal. HSO has several Microsoft MVPs and Fast Track Recognized Solution Architects – colleagues who are internationally recognized for their expertise and their contribution to the community. "They are people who are not only strong in content but also actively spread knowledge – inside and outside HSO. Continuous learning, continuous development – we really try to shape that here."
