Summary of Career Workshops in the Summer Semester 2025
In the summer semester of 2025, the VŠE Career Centre organized a total of 17 career workshops focused on the personal and professional development of students. Fourteen of these were conducted in Czech, while three were held in English to also engage international students.
The workshops were led by experienced professionals — career counselors, coaches, HR consultants, and other specialists — who shared practical tips and valuable insights for tackling career-related challenges. Participants gained not only new knowledge but also inspiration and motivation for further career growth. The semester covered the following topics:
- How to successfully find a part-time job or full-time employment
- How to shine in a job interview and stay resilient after rejection

- How to find, name, and sell your strengths
- CV and cover letter writing
- How to sell yourself in an interview

- How to survive exam season (stress management)

- Career planning
The workshops were held throughout the semester, with the majority taking place during the Job Fair ŠANCE, which was held on April 1 – 3, 2025. Nine workshops were conducted online, and the remaining eight took place in person at VŠE, both at the Žižkov and Jižní Město campuses.
To continuously improve our services, we collect feedback from participants after each workshop.
