So our department was discussing potential projects for the year that
we could do. One of the topics raised was to have seminars or career
talks in schools and it made me think how I miss doing it.
There’s just something about giving a talk in front of a class and
seeing their interested in what you have to say in terms of applying
what they learn to what happens in real life.
Now that I’m in the internal audit field instead of management
consulting, I sometimes wonder if I’ll still have the opportunity to do
those kinds of talks again. I think it’ll have to revolve around how the
skill sets of an industrial engineer fits with the requirements of the
audit field.
It’d be interesting if there was such a thing as Industrial
Engineering with a minor in internal auditing or something. Maybe there
is in other countries? haha.
Anyway, the main reason that I got that kind of exposure to
conducting class room discussions was because of my former boss. He gets
invited annually to talk in my alma mater to discuss seminar specific
topics like cost management applications.
Just some thoughts. Oh, and freebies from the class are always nice. :)
