The Best Exhibitors of the Autumn Job Fair ŠANCE 2026!

Another edition of the Job Fair ŠANCE has come to an end! The event took place from 20 to 22 October 2026 at the Prague University of Economics and Business (VŠE). Once again, more than 100 companies and institutions from various industries participated in the Job Fair. As always, visitors also had the opportunity to vote for the TOP Exhibiting Company/Institution.

All visitors could vote for their favourite company or institution, while voting was a mandatory part of participation for those entering the prize competition. Voting took place through an anonymous questionnaire available in both Czech and English, allowing international students to take part as well.

The main evaluation criteria included the friendliness and approachability of exhibitors, the overall impression of the visit, and the appearance of the exhibition stand. Visitors voted for their TOP company/institution, and the votes were then counted and evaluated separately for each day. We are therefore delighted to announce the winners of the Autumn Job Fair ŠANCE 2026.
