Update Human Capital Ambassador
Lisette Smit-Bennemeer is operations manager at Erasmus School of Law and provide an update on the Human Capital ambassadorship.
“Erasmus University has been an active member of RMSC and in collaboration with RMSC, we have organized several conferences and welcomed many RMSC members at the University. In my role as Human Capital Ambassador for the RMSC, I feel this will give me the freedom to explore the needs and improve the quality of human capital in Rotterdam. Furthermore, it will give me the opportunity to work closer together with a great variety of service providers in the maritime industry.
After my study Communication, I ended up in the travel industry where I had several roles. After being fortunate of seeing nearly all sides of the product/life cycle within the private sector, I rolled into the public sector as a Master Coordinator at the Erasmus University for International Students. In this role, I witnessed how young scholars struggle their way through their study and build the most interesting international careers, no matter where they came from. The alumni network, the university and the maritime industry work closely together to improve amongst others the quality of education, international relations, business environment, companies and employees. The Erasmus School of Law tries to make a positive societal impact, and in this role, I am driven to do precisely this for the city, the maritime industry and the members of the RMSC. In my personal life, the passion for sailing, scuba diving and rowing keep me close to the water. I am looking forward to meet you and to find out how we can help as RMSC to service your employees and to make your company reach its best potential.
We are living in the beautiful city of Rotterdam, where many people are immigrants, here you can really make your dream come true no matter your background, the only thing you need is talent, work hard and be lucky that you meet the right people and are embraced by an appreciative work environment. The slogan of Rotterdam says, make it happen in Rotterdam! And together, I am sure we can find ways to do more.
