Over Port Of Opportunities
We are Port of Opportunities, an experienced knowledge partner for the port and industry in the Rotterdam region. Empowering newcomers for a bright future In September 2022, "Port of Opportunities" set sail on a mission fueled by a singular purpose – to foster positive transformation in the (professional) lives of newcomers within the Netherlands. This was made possible because of our founding fathers, Havenbedrijf Rotterdam and Watertalent. Together, we observed and recognized that newcomers in the Netherlands face many challenges in their quest for meaningful employment. Obstacles such as the non-recognition of foreign qualifications, language barriers, and the weight of unjust biases hinder their progress. Our belief in the urgency of change serves as a steadfast guide – we are devoted to helping finding as much newcomers a qualified job in the port and industry of Rotterdam, that helps them build their future here in the Netherlands. Our ultimate ambition is to guide them towards a steady, meaningful occupation that resonates with their individual skills, knowledge, and experience. Anchored in the foundation of our approach is the emphasis on fostering meaningful connections and nurturing an intimate understanding of the candidate's distinct needs. A solution for a stronger labor market Beyond our unwavering commitment to helping newcomers build their professional lives here in the Netherlands, we also think that hiring newcomers is the solution to alleviate the strain on the current Dutch labor market. Currently, the port and industry of Rotterdam misses thousands of skilled employees to grow, and even sustain, the current work load. We believe that by embracing newcomers and the talent, experience and skills they bring to the table, the vibrant port and industry of Rotterdam will have the capacity to keep developing.
