Description of the video:
00:00.820 --> 00:03.190
- I'm a partner with Deloitte Consulting
00:03.190 --> 00:05.750
out of our Chicago office
00:05.750 --> 00:09.030
and I'm also the
technology recruiting lead
00:09.030 --> 00:10.350
for Indiana University
00:10.350 --> 00:12.450
and I've been doing that
for more than 10 years now
00:12.450 --> 00:15.830
and I've hired a number of great students
00:15.830 --> 00:17.030
and I've gotten to now
00:17.030 --> 00:18.840
the business school quite well.
00:18.840 --> 00:22.010
I do think that the extra year spent
00:22.010 --> 00:23.600
to get that MSIS degree
00:23.600 --> 00:26.070
for us in our technology practice
00:26.070 --> 00:28.310
gives that potential employee
00:28.310 --> 00:31.700
such a leap ahead with what
they learn in that year
00:31.700 --> 00:32.533
and then they get
00:32.533 --> 00:34.920
such an exposure to a
breadth of technology.
00:34.920 --> 00:36.210
Over the last few years
00:36.210 --> 00:38.510
you've done a great job of bringing in
00:38.510 --> 00:40.860
from other parts of the university
00:40.860 --> 00:42.830
people with very diverse backgrounds
00:42.830 --> 00:45.150
and what I would say to
that at the end of the day
00:45.150 --> 00:47.330
is we like the diversity
in the backgrounds
00:47.330 --> 00:48.720
because it challenges
00:48.720 --> 00:50.530
and you need people from
different backgrounds
00:50.530 --> 00:51.410
and different disciplines
00:51.410 --> 00:54.020
that look at problem solving differently
00:54.020 --> 00:55.780
and I think that's what
it brings to the table
00:55.780 --> 00:58.160
and I think you give them that opportunity
00:58.160 --> 01:01.818
to really take a very unique background
01:01.818 --> 01:03.810
and apply it to technology,
01:03.810 --> 01:05.010
learn about the technology
01:05.010 --> 01:07.840
and I think a lot of
those folks do fabulous
01:07.840 --> 01:10.250
with our firm and your program.
01:10.250 --> 01:11.870
You adapt your curriculum,
01:11.870 --> 01:13.910
you adapt your programs
01:13.910 --> 01:17.540
to train students to
understand what we need
01:17.540 --> 01:19.730
and quite honestly meet the culture
01:19.730 --> 01:20.750
that we're looking for
01:20.750 --> 01:23.240
and that's the greatest thing that we see
01:23.240 --> 01:25.470
and why the students from the MSIS program
01:25.470 --> 01:27.010
have done so well with us
01:27.010 --> 01:29.310
is the culture that you teach them
01:29.310 --> 01:31.170
fits very nicely with our culture,
01:31.170 --> 01:32.950
that style of working in groups
01:32.950 --> 01:34.570
and working collaboratively
01:34.570 --> 01:37.190
and the technology skills
that you give them,
01:37.190 --> 01:39.190
it is just tremendous.
Description of the video:
00:01.690 --> 00:05.920
- The curriculum in the MSIS
program is an absolute mirror
00:05.920 --> 00:07.890
of what is going on in the real world.
00:07.890 --> 00:11.710
Which is great, that
creates a breeding ground
00:11.710 --> 00:15.730
for us to come and recruit
and find wonderful talent
00:15.730 --> 00:18.560
who have very little ramp-up time.
00:18.560 --> 00:20.120
That's why we keep comin' back.
00:20.120 --> 00:23.890
And that's why we love the
students within the MSIS program.
00:23.890 --> 00:28.450
If we think about a day in the
life of a typical graduate,
00:28.450 --> 00:29.940
oftentimes they're traveling.
00:29.940 --> 00:32.220
And so they're traveling
to client locations,
00:32.220 --> 00:35.690
working with clients to
understand and design
00:35.690 --> 00:39.330
new ways of doing business,
design new systems,
00:39.330 --> 00:42.910
managing large-scale
international programs,
00:42.910 --> 00:45.320
working directly with
our client executives
00:45.320 --> 00:48.490
and presenting solutions
to complex problems.
00:48.490 --> 00:51.610
If you look at my practice, the
Digital Enterprise practice,
00:51.610 --> 00:56.490
nearly 70% of that practice
is recent MSIS grads.
00:56.490 --> 00:58.590
And I specifically target them
00:58.590 --> 01:00.720
because of their ability to learn, grow,
01:00.720 --> 01:04.150
adapt, change, and be
very client-oriented.
01:04.150 --> 01:06.940
We continue to be impressed
with the caliber of students
01:06.940 --> 01:08.640
that come out of the MSIS program.
