E17: Developing a Global Mindset for Engineering Professionals

Season #2

In this episode of English for Engineers, I talk to Kate Dahl, a career consultant for internationals in Denmark who helps them integrate into the Danish labour market.

 

Join us in this episode as we discuss what it means to have a global mindset and how engineering professionals can develop such a mindset.

 

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’ll LEARN

  • What it means to have an international mindset and
  • Why that is essential for engineering professionals.
  • How engineers can develop such an attitude, and
  • If English language proficiency does play a role in said mindset.

 

 

The English for Engineers podcast is here to help engineers and technicians from all backgrounds improve their communication skills and provide them with interesting facts from side industries so that Technical and Business English becomes their new superpower.
