What does an OML graduate do?
3
Van een lege Kuip naar een kolkende massa.
Vijftigduizend mannen, vrouwen en kinderen.
Zoveel mensen wonen er ook in Woerden. Zon
volksverhuizing voor en na de wedstrijd is een
uitgelezen klus voor de logistieke specialisten
van Nederland. In een van de dichtstbevolkte
landen van de wereld is slim organiseren tot een
kunst verheven. Begonnen uit noodzaak profiteren
we nu van een internationale voorsprong. Dat
maakt Nederland de beste plek om het vak te
leren. Hier kun je echt groeien, tot ver over de
grenzen. Want logistieke specialisten zijn net zo
gewild als Nederlandse voetbaltrainers

De plannen zijn de hele wereld overgegaan. Voor
de kust van Dubai verrijst nieuw land. Eilanden
in de vorm van een palmboom en zelfs de
wereldkaart. Een uitgelezen klus voor de
logistieke specialisten van Nederland. Hier in de
Lage Landen weten we alles van land in zee. En
schipperend met de ruimte hebben we slim
organiseren tot een kunst verheven. Begonnen uit
noodzaak profiteren we nu van een internationale
voorsprong. Dat maakt Nederland de beste plek om
het vak te leren. Hier kun je echt groeien, tot
ver over de grenzen. En soms maak je zelfs nieuwe
landsgrenzen.
