Every year we team up with our Industry Network partners and working alumni to deliver an exclusive Professional Development Week to prepare students for work. Students learn how to craft their CV’s and portfolios and refine interview skills tailored to their specific field of interest.
The week is followed by a Career and Internship Fair where students meet directly with recruiters from global companies based in Prague.
During the Professional Development Week, you can attend workshops and lectures, providing you with valuable industry insight and experience.
Following is the Professional Development Week programme for each school:
