Career Fair 2019: Company Spotlight School of Media and IT

Thursday 18 April 2019 | 10am - 8pm | Room 001/002 | Prague College

 

It's been said that "Whoever controls the media, controls the mind." Here at Prague College, we believe that your mind and the knowledge you pursue will help get you to the door of your next big opportunity, but your inter-personal skills, motivation, and ability to make connections are what will get you to the next level.

Take this year's Career Fair as a chance to practice your professional skills, get a few interview scenarios under your belt, and take advantage of using our extensive Industry Network to meet the right people. You just might have an experience that lands you the next big gig or working on the development of an app that changes the way we interact with the world!

The history of Czech Radio began in 1923 in the former Czechoslovakia in a canvas tent in Prague - Kbely. Since then, broadcasting has undergone dramatic developments, from live broadcasting to a digital broadcast, from a private company to an independent public service that is part of the European Broadcasting Union. History was built in front of the historic building of Czech Radio on Vinohradská Street 12, during the so-called Prague Uprising in 1945 or during the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact troops in 1968.

Currently, Czech Radio broadcasts on the waves four nationwide and four special stations and operates a regional broadcasting network in all regions of the Czech Republic. Broadcasting abroad in six world languages is an integral part. But the content does not only spread over radio waves. Web sites and mobile applications also make it easy to listen to news from home and abroad, journalism, music and more.
