2. 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. Zo’n 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 gewildalsNederlandsevoetbaltrainers
