InnAut - Getting young adults into engineering using laser technology.

In practice, many young people in the Netherlands are sitting at home for long periods of time. A shame, because many of them have technical talent. The organization InnAut leads affected young people to a full-fledged job in the technical sector. During this process, both the youth and the employer are guided by InnAut. The aim of InnAut is to offer every young person, with or without support from government, municipalities or schools, a chance to develop in a technical position.

Co-founder Peter van Putten himself, before founding InnAut, had worked within the technical sector. During that time, Peter discovered that among many young people there is considerable interest and talent for technology. However, these young people often fail to find a job in that sector. "This while the capabilities are one-to-one the same as people who do work in that sector," Peter says. This could be different and so four years ago he (co)started InnAut.

The Trotec Laser has - so to speak - displaced the Chinese models at InnAut, becoming the preferred choice. Practically all of the young people at InnAut are actively engaged with this laser machine, with a total of around 15 to 20 people. According to Peter, this preference is due to the machine's ease of use and its reliability.
