Newsletter January 2017

13 Jan 2017 by Commissioner of Internal Affairs 0 comments
Dear Members, It is a brand new year with brand new, exciting activities coming up for TTLA. We are sincerely glad that so many of you have been able to participate or support our activities this last year. We are looking forward to another semester, filled with events and opportunities! During the autumn semester of 2016 TTLA had a change of board and the transition went as smoothly as one could hope. The new board has managed to so far organize some social events, a LinkedIn workshop and a company visit to Damen Shiprepair in Schiedam. We are of course very content with all of these successful and well attended events. However, we are not satisfied yet! So this semester will be even more intense with even more frequent social events, further interesting and exciting company visits and a Career Day in May that you do not want to miss out! We thank you all for standing behind us in our work. Let’s get ready for a new semester! Best regards, TTLA Board of 2016-2017 Read more!

Damen is one of the largest shipbuilding and ship repairing companies in the world and they have a big repair and conversion site in Schiedam. We were all cleared through the security and went into the office where Damen welcomed us with coffee, tea and lovely cupcakes! Consequentially we were, if possible, even more excited to hear the presentations Damen prepared for us! First the manager of the site told us about Damen, its history and the specific site in Schiedam. After him the head of the insurance and risk management explained to us about all the daily struggles and what-if-scenarios you have to take into account when managing insurances and risk calculations for such a highly specialized and huge company as Damen. Finally we got a presentation from Damen Shiprepair’s own inhouse legal counsel that told us a lot about the exciting legal challenges he faced everyday and about the advantages to work in the business itself instead of doing traditional legal work as a practicing lawyer. After the presentations we all got the coolest blue helmets and safety […] Read more!

The Trade and Transport Law Association is here to Represent, Support and Connect. We aim to be the face for all Commercial Law students, in all possible internal and external matters. We will support you by preparing you guys for the job market through posting vacancies and hosting workshops in how to present yourself online and how to prepare for job interviews. And most importantly, we are here to connect. The TTLA builds a bridge between students and the future. We do so by connecting you with potential employers and by introducing you to various possible career paths. We also want to connect students with other students through social activities. Not only does a strong network make your time in Rotterdam more fun, it is also essential for your further career. Have fun together, not only for your own pleasure but also for your career’s sake! Through the TTLA we can make our ideas come true. We, the board of 2016-2017, are here as representatives for you and we are open to hear about what specific needs or desires you might have!
