Professional support
Cereer Opportunities
The FEB is aware of the fact that just good-quality programmes are not enough for the students to fully exploit their study potentials. For that reason, professional support is constantly developed and improved so as to facilitate the studies one would expect at a modern business school. In this way, the FEB assists students in networking and provides them with an adequate study environment.
During the study, the Career Centre offers various activities for the personal and professional development in order to increase the employability of our graduates and to promote the flow of knowledge between the Faculty of Economics and Business and national economy:
- educational workshops, seminars, lectures and trainings
- encouraging companies to publish a list of possible topics of seminar work, diploma thesis and projects according to their current needs and companies mentoring in the process and preparation of these activities
- career advisors counseling
- an employment fair
- practical training in companies
- professional excursions to successful companies
- informing students about events and novelties in the labor markets and current job vacancies
- employers' presentations at the faculty
The FEB Career Centre offers temporary work and job placement services. The Centre’s numerous activities help the students to gain experience and skills in career development and employment. At the same time, the Centre acts as an intermediary in employing young personnel with the knowledge in various fields of economics, which strengthens the ties and the cooperation between the economy, the Faculty and the students. The organisations may become acquainted with adequately qualified students and may, as a result, participate in their development. By strengthening such links between the FEB students and the employers, the latter may recruit well-trained and reliable personnel while the former increase their employability.
The FEB Career Centre – Career Opportunities
The FEB Career Centre helps the students to become the managers of their own professional careers. The students learn to plan the start of their professional careers and they develop skills of successful communication, creative thinking, etc. They also have the opportunity to contact potential employees and gain work experience as well as build a network of business contacts.
When they complete their studies, the graduates must be particularly aware of their strengths, skills and interests when looking for a job. Career consultants at the University of Maribor help students and graduates with various advisory techniques and tools (questionnaires, etc.) to reach their career decisions.
