COLLABORATION WITH UNIVERSITIES

GET A FOOTHOLD ON THE LABOUR MARKET AS TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS

The key to long-term success is technological progress and innovation. In this field, it is qualified experts who are irreplaceable, and these are produced in universities. ŠKODA AUTO is fully aware of this and we aim to support both universities and students in all the ways we can.

METHODS OF STUDENT AND UNIVERSITY SUPPORT


SCIENCE, RESEARCH AND INNOVATION

We support universities through financial grants for projects focused on improvingtechnical teaching and by donating teaching aids. These include individual vehicleparts, whole cars and also machines and equipment. At the same time, we invest tens of millions of Czech crowns each year in projects involving innovation in technicaldevelopment and vehicle manufacture, in which our experts collaborate both withacademic employees, and above all the students themselves.

EXCURSIONS AND LECTURES

Through lectures at ŠKODA AUTO or at universities, we are boosting theoreticalteaching and expanding students’ expertise. We can also create a lecture block which can become a direct part of a university’s syllabus as an accredited subject. Anotherform of support is excursions, which are arranged both at a general and specialistlevel.

SEMINARS AND TRAINING

We hold one-day and multiple day training sessions and seminars directly at ŠKODA AUTO.These focus on training soft skills such as making presentations, selling yourself, salesskills, working in a team, feedback and more, as well as on technology. Our multiple daytraining sessions include our very popular test drives in ŠKODA vehicles.
