Training and Workshops
If you wish to present your company to students, you might conduct a meeting in the form of training or a workshop. Such a solution may benefit both parties: students are eager to acquire new knowledge, and you have an opportunity to scout for perfect candidates and effectively promote your company.

Who is the workshop/training offer addressed to?
Conducting training or workshops for USil students and graduates is recommended to companies who wish to share their know-how, present themselves as a potential employer and select the most fitting job candidates possible.
What requirements should the training/workshops meet?
If you wish to carry out a training/workshop, send your request at least two weeks beforehand. The schedule for such a training should be provided at least a week before!
As a training/workshop, we consider a meeting carried out using active learning methods (e.g. discussion, case study, workshop) aimed at participants acquiring or developing soft skills or professional skills.
The suggested topics of classes include:
- career counselling, e.g. how to write a professional résumé, CV and cover letter, how to prepare for a job interview, discovering one’s advantages, setting out career goals,
- soft skills, e.g. time management, self-presentation, public speaking, communication, team management,
- expert training, e.g. sales techniques, skills in expert software,
- other activities suggested by the company.
One training/workshop should last for 3 hours at a minimum + an optional hour to present your company (between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on a selected weekday).
What support do we provide?
We provide: a training room at a selected faculty or the spinPLACE building, multimedia devices (projector, computer), event promotion (via websites, Facebook, and newsletter).
If you are interested in conducting a training session, contact us via email at bk@us.edu.pl or via phone: (32) 359 19 77; 501 984 453.

Presenting Your Company at the University
If you wish to introduce your company’s scope of operation and the requirements for job candidates, we would suggest organising an event presenting your enterprise. It may take the form of either a promotional stand or an information and recruitment meeting at a selected faculty.

About a promotional stand
A promotional stand is recommended particularly to companies that wish to have direct contact with a large number of students. The stand enables contact with students of specific degree programmes and—therefore—presents the company’s scope of activity and encourages students to apply for the offered jobs. Additionally, it is an excellent opportunity to make yourself known to students as an employer. The duration of a one-time event is 1 day.
We provide: a usable area in the lobby at the chosen faculty or at the pedestrian area in front of the Rectorate building, two tables, two chairs, access to electricity, promotion of the event (via websites, Facebook, and newsletter). It is possible to set up your own stand provided that its size has been consulted with the Career Office in advance.
There is a fee charged for setting up a promotional stand. If you are interested in such a form of promotion, contact the office via email at bk@us.edu.pl or via phone: (32) 359 19 77; 501 984 453.
About information and recruitment meeting
A meeting, lecture, or company presentation is recommended to companies whose offer is not targeted at an audience with a specific degree programme. Therefore, you have an opportunity to contact students and graduates who have knowledge of the company and are interested in being employed there. At the same time, such a meeting may be used to recruit for a specific job position. The duration of a one-time event is 2 hours.
We provide: a training room at a selected faculty or the spinPLACE building, multimedia devices (projector, computer), promotion of the event (via websites, Facebook and newsletter).
The service fee is charged in both cases. Meetings with students are carried out only during the academic year and no earlier than two weeks from registering a company for presentation. If you are interested in such a form of promotion, contact the office via email at bk@us.edu.pl or via phone: (32) 359 19 77; 501 984 453.
