During the winter semester, fourth-year students of the Computer Science program had the opportunity to gain valuable practical experience through various activities as part of the Professional Practice course.

A workshop with the human resources team of m:tel company was held on November 8, 2023, in the computer room of the FNSM. Through this workshop, students gained insight into the candidate selection process when applying for a job, from the initial steps of writing a CV and application to the interview, thus familiarizing themselves with this important aspect of modern business.
