How can having an industry experience help in teaching?

To help employees grow and improve throughout the course of their work, corporations offer career rotation. In rare instances, people switch careers from the business world to teaching. With the exception of extremely specialised teaching positions in topics like management, medicine, practical engineering, etc. , industry experience does not significantly advance a career in teaching in the bulk of disciplines.

Hi, Yes, having an industry experience would definitely help in teaching, consider it like On the job personal experience. It will make their knowledge more complete. Knowing the academic side is only half the battle: understanding how those skills get used in the real world gives vital context and often makes things make more sense, it provides the reality that supplements the textbook versions of the same fields. Education in the practical as well as theoretical is very important. Knowing how engineers in industry actually work to make things "go" rather than just being able to talk about it is very important. However, for someone who teaches another discipline like English literature or history it is less important, English and history professors normally have no experience outside of their field. They can be very deep and competent in that field if they had done extensive research.
