My realization

The career development and professional growth of Industrial Management students begins with the training. The variety of opportunities for their professional realization at the different management levels of industrial organizations is the result of the development of management competencies, as well as technical competencies related to the practical use of software solutions and technologies for making effective management decisions in the dynamically changing environment in industry (Industry 4.0). The successful implementation of the students is the result of partnerships with a number of organizations from industry and business - FESTO, Liebherr, Siemens, BASF, BOSCH, Würth, BLUBITO, Musala Soft, Microsoft, HP and many others.
