Blog # 3 as Organizer - The IT Industry Beyond the School Walls

By: Nicole Bernal Marcial



Details of the webinar

The IT Industry Beyond the School Walls was organized by our team, Overflow. The webinar takes place virtually via Google Meet and Facebook live on December 15 from 8:00PM to 9:00PM. Team Overflow provided the speaker for this webinar, Mr. Kristoffer Rolf Obias Nale, a Senior Software Solutions Specialist at Star Paper Corporation.

Reflection/ Learnings about webinar

The IT industry beyond our institution is really difficult, especially when you have some expectations such as high salary. I learn that learning really starts outside the school walls, that’s what this webinar thought me. Those opportunities are not only for job opportunities, it is about the opportunity to learn more and to gain more skills and knowledge about information technology.

Reflections on possibilities of implementing the learnings on life applications

Just like the other webinars, there was a lot of experience that was so helpful for me because I learned some soft skills that I can used in my future projects or even in my future workplace.

The IT industry is not just about jobs that requires ones and zeroes, or jobs that require a specialty of some sort, it is how we use technology in aspects of life. For example, Mr. Kristoffer said that social media influencers like Cong TV is a part of the IT industry, because they are using technology to broadcast information and as a job. 

Positive feedback

Just like what I have said, I was too glad being on Team Overflow which I have a team that was skilled and professional, that can already pull off a great a big webinar like How to Code Together with Python and Video Editing 101. The production of the event is well prepared. The deliverables and the stream have a good quality of graphics. There is also involvement with the audience through ice breakers in the beginning of the webinar. The flow / sequence of each topic is arranged accordingly. Each topic introduced to the audience are in correlation to one another.

Suggestions for improvements

We should aim for more rooms for our improvement, of the team and also ourselves.

Lastly, applying all our learnings are important.

You also have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions in peaceful protests. What is Freedom of Expression?   F reedom of speech, or freedom of expression, applies to ideas of all kinds, including those that may be deeply offensive.
