We collaborate with a diverse range of organisations and, in principle, do not exclude anyone. We can divide our collaborations into Founding Fathers, Partners, and clients, which we will explain here.
Founding Fathers who contributed in cash or in kind to the start-up of PofO:
- Port of Rotterdam Authority
In collaboration with the Port of Rotterdam Authority, we have identified and recognised that newcomers to the Netherlands face numerous challenges in their quest for meaningful work. Thanks in part to the support of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, since September 2022 we have been able to support newcomers in these challenges, specifically focused on the port and industrial complex of Rotterdam. - Watertalent
The support of Watertalent, the career platform for the port and industry, is also very valuable to us. Their involvement has enabled us to offer a wider range of opportunities to newcomers, further promoting their integration and participation in the labour market. The collaboration with Watertalent has enabled us not only to focus on overcoming the challenges, but also to build bridges to sustainable and meaningful career paths for newcomers in the maritime sector.
Partners with whom we work closely, as we are convinced that cooperation is the key to achieving our goal.
- Strategic partners
* Municipality of Nissewaard

Clients who have already collaborated with us we are pleased to highlight this in a showcase. We are proud that these organisations have found us and dared to take on a newcomer. The showcases can be found here and are, of course, compiled in full consultation with our organisations and employees and are based on the complete truth.
If you are also an organisation in the port and industry of Rotterdam and you are open to welcoming a newcomer to your team, your success story may soon be featured among the showcases.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, we’re more than happy to answer them!
