TMC is a unique collection of self-starting, highly skilled and almost self-employed technical professionals. Our unparalleled Employeneurship model offers engineers from all backgrounds the comforts of employment and the opportunities of entrepreneurship. This makes for a challenging, stimulating environment that you are welcome to explore.
The term Employeneurship might sound unfamiliar. It’s because we invented it. Not just as a word but as a way of working, a paradigm even. Basically, Employeneurship is about thinking and acting like an entrepreneur, with the security of employment. But more than anything, it is a guarantee for continuous development and the opportunity to really be responsible for the direction of your career.
Our Employeneurship model is based on 5 principles: a long-term working relationship, individual profit sharing, business cells, YOUniversity and The Entrepreneurial Lab. Our unique Employeneurship model facilitates your development in the broadest sense of the word. For starters, instead of sticking to one place, you get to work at various companies. All the while TMC remains your home base with a smart coaching program. So while you hone your ‘hard’ technical expertise in a challenging series of projects, there is ample opportunity to work on ‘soft’ aspects like personal skills.
