Field trips and industry visits are integral components of the learning pedagogy at GIBS Business School, significantly enriching the student experience by bridging the gap between classroom theory and real- world corporate practice.

Here is how these activities enhance learning:

1. Connecting Theory with Practice

The primary benefit of industry visits is the ability to see theoretical management concepts applied in a functional business environment.

hi.

Here is how these activities enhance learning:

1. Connecting Theory with Practice

2. Gaining Industry Insights and Exposure

Students get direct exposure to the corporate world, gaining insights into how different companies operate, their work culture, and current industry trends. They learn about the latest technologies being used, specific challenges organizations face, and innovative solutions being implemented. This exposure helps students align their expectations with industry realities.

3. Networking Opportunities

Field trips often provide opportunities for students to interact directly with industry professionals, managers, and sometimes even CEOs. These interactions allow students to ask questions, seek advice, and build valuable professional networks. These connections can be beneficial for future internships and job placements.

4. Developing Practical Skills

Students learn a range of practical skills that are hard to teach in a classroom setting, such as:

Observation Skills: Learning to critically observe processes and operational efficiency.
Analytical Thinking: Analyzing an organization's structure and performance based on their visit.
Communication Skills: Interacting with professionals and presenting observations back in class reports.

5. Enhancing Career Readiness

By understanding the work environment, students can make more informed decisions about their career paths and specialization choices (e.g., Finance, Marketing, HR). They learn about the daily responsibilities of different roles and what skills are highly valued by employers, thereby preparing them better for the corporate world and the final placement process.

6. Teamwork and Collaboration

Many of these visits and the subsequent report writing are done in groups, fostering teamwork and collaboration skills. Students learn to work together, share observations, and present a collective analysis of their experience.

In summary, field trips at GIBS move the learning experience beyond traditional lectures, offering practical exposure, networking opportunities, and real-world context that collectively create well-rounded, industry-ready professionals.
