Organizations Organized by the Industrial Engineering Society in the Period of 2023-2024
As ALKU Industrial Engineering Society, we aim to get our members to mingle with each other and to strengthen our community with the introductory meetings we organize every year. Thanks to the introduction of the departments within our group and these meetings with the members, we aim to have a more up-to-date and dynamic structure every year.
At the introductory events held at the beginning of the academic year, our departments are introduced to future colleagues who want to join our community and comprehensive information about our activities is provided. These events are of great importance in terms of listening to the valuable ideas of our members and communicating with volunteers who want to contribute to our community by having one-on-one meetings.
At the introductory meeting we organized, our colleagues in our departments introduced themselves and the work they do in their departments, and one-on-one meetings were held with our members who wanted to take part voluntarily. In this way, our community strengthens the cooperation and bonds between our members this year, as it does every year.
LinkedIn, known as the social network of the business world, offers many opportunities such as networking, personal development and reaching important names. While the first step to accessing these opportunities is to create a LinkedIn account, many of us wonder how we can use this platform effectively and correctly after this step.
In this regard, the conference on "Let's Not Be a Black Hole and Effective Use of LinkedIn" organized by Mr. Okan Dedeoğlu helped our members to go one step further by providing important information. At the conference, topics such as the role of LinkedIn in creating a successful career and the correct and strategic methods of use were discussed. While Okan Dedeoğlu shared important tips on the effective use of social networking, the participants learned how to use this information in their career development.
At the end of the conference, our participants were given a LinkedIn course so that they could further improve their LinkedIn skills. We would like to thank Okan Dedeoğlu for his contributions and hope that our members will be one step ahead in their career journeys with this valuable information.
