Description

Job Title Internship/Graduation: Making Technology Understandable: Improving How Technical Updates Are Communicated to the Business Job Description Assignment type: Internship/Graduation Start date: September 2026 Assignment duration: 6 months Location: Veghel Education level: Bachelor Desired study: Marketing & Communication, Communication, Technical Communication, or a related field Language: Dutch/English Description of assignment What is the issue? Within the Technology department, technical releases (such as system updates, improvements, or new functionalities) are delivered on a regular basis. While these releases are technically correct, the way they are communicated is often complex, inconsistent, and difficult to understand for non-technical users. Why does this issue occur? Technical release information is mainly created by engineers and project teams, each using their own structure, terminology, and level of detail. There is no standard format or clear guideline for how technical information should be translated into user-friendly communication. In addition, there is limited use of tools or templates that support efficient and repeatable communication. What is the impact of the issue? As a result, internal and external stakeholders may misunderstand the content or impact of technical releases. This leads to additional questions, extra coordination effort, slower adoption of new solutions, and reduced transparency. Valuable technical knowledge is not fully utilized because it is not communicated clearly. Research question: How can technical release information be structured and simplified so that it becomes clear, consistent, and easy to use for different target audiences? Department description The Technology department is responsible for developing and implementing technical solutions that support the organization’s products and processes. This includes working on innovations, system improvements, and the transition from development to operational use.
