I. Details of the event/activity
The title of the seminar I attended was "From New Grad
to Tech Leader: Software Engineer Career Paths in the IT Industry." This
seminar focuses on building a software engineer career in the IT industry. It was organized by the League of Information Technology Students from the University of the East-Caloocan Campus, and it was held on November 16, 2024. The master speaker for the seminar is Prof. Erlynjoy Macaraeg.
II. Reflections on the webinar/activity give rise to (learnings)
The seminar provided valuable insights into the various
career paths available for software engineers in the IT industry. Prof.
Erlynjoy Macaraeg emphasized the importance of continuous learning and adapting
to new technologies. Key takeaways included understanding the different roles
within software engineering, such as front-end developer, back-end developer,
and full-stack developer, and the skills required for each. The seminar also
highlighted the significance of soft skills, such as communication and
teamwork, in advancing one's career.
III. Reflections on possibilities of implementing some of the webinar input on a practical level (practical application of learnings)
Implementing the learnings from the seminar can be done
by setting clear career goals and identifying the skills needed to achieve
them. For instance, if one aims to become a full-stack developer, it is
essential to gain proficiency in both front-end and back-end technologies. And
additionally, participating in coding bootcamps, online courses, and hackathons
can provide hands-on experience and enhance technical skills. Networking with
industry professionals and seeking mentorship can also offer guidance and
support in navigating one's career path.
IV. Positive feedback (on the event organization)
The event was well organized, with a clear agenda and engaging content. The speaker, Prof. Erlynjoy Macaraeg, was knowledgeable and provided practical advice based on real-world experiences. The interactive Q&A session allowed participants to clarify doubts and gain deeper insights into the topics discussed. The overall atmosphere was conducive to learning and networking.
V. Suggestions for improvements to be made/considered for
future activities
For future activities, it would be beneficial to include hands-on workshops or coding sessions to complement the theoretical knowledge shared during the seminar. Providing access to resources, such as recommended reading materials or online courses, can help participants continue their learning journey. Additionally, organizing follow-up sessions or creating a community platform for attendees to stay connected and share their progress would enhance the overall impact of the event.
