Both are possible. "has been beneficial" means that it was beneficial in a period beginning in the past and continuing until the present. "is beneficial" means that it is beneficial now (with the implication that it is likely to continue to be so in the future).
(Minor corrections: "responsibilities ... hands-on". Also, you have several superfluous double spaces.)
