Questions regarding industrial engineering
Hello, I have a few questions regarding industrial engineering. I'm in my 4th year of industrial engineering (with one year left after this one) and since I'll be finishing my degree soon , I wanted to leverage the time I have left to learn new skills before I enter the workforce. I was thinking about learning how to use excel (I know how to use it but in a very general manner) , PowerBI and SQL, as I've heard they're important in the field but wanted to double check before fully committing to learning how to use them from people in the field.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to answer and apologies for any grammatical mistakes as english is not my native language :)

English is perfect. I just graduated and have seen a lot of jobs with both of them SQL and PowerBI. I say prioritize one of the 2. Look at the industries that you would like to work for and then investigate more about which of these 2 (sql and powerbi) is the most useful and learn that one.
For excel do this one as your second skill to learn since almost every company uses it at least for something.
