The student union Volonta was founded by Thales Nederland to stimulate the contacts between the company and her trainees and graduates and also amongst trainees and graduates themselves. Volonta enhances the enjoyment of your traineeship or graduation. Volonta organises field trips and other activities. To name a few: field trips to the Royal Navy in Den Helder, Twente airport or the Grolsch brewery, but also activities as laserquesting, carting or social get togethers in one of Hengelo's many bars.
