Want to get a head start? Apply for FMV Alumni Mentoring by 7 October!
We believe the most valuable lessons don’t come from textbooks, but from people who have walked the same path as you. That’s why we’re launching this year’s FMV alumni mentoring again — a program that connects students and recent graduates (within three years of completing their studies) with successful alumni, building a community of mutual growth and support.
Apply by 7 October, 2026, 11:59 PM.
What the program includes:
- Informal meetups
- Networking events
- Personal development workshops
- Alumni community
Meet a successful alumni who knows what you’re going through — because they’ve been there themselves. Get advice from both the career and academic world, and find inspiration for your own personal development journey. And you’re not alone — you’ll also meet others going through the same program, so you can support each other along the way.
Hear from our mentees
Tereza Veselá
Taking part in Alumni Mentoring as a mentee was a great bridge between returning from my study abroad experiences in France and Switzerland and getting involved in faculty life again during my final year of my Master’s studies. 🎓
Over the months of mentoring, my mentor Bára and I explored our shared field of HR from A to Z over coffee, attended the largest career fair in the Czech Republic together, and, through her perspective, I also had the opportunity to get a glimpse into the world of coaching.
The “How to Find a Job that Truly Excites You, Not Just Looks Good on Paper” workshop was another valuable experience that helped me clarify what I was looking for in my first full-time role after graduation – and, after completing my thesis, successfully find that role. ☁️
Whether you are a Bachelor’s or Master’s student or a recent graduate, preparing for or returning from a study abroad experience, already working or looking for a job, or simply looking for some extra inspiration, I couldn’t recommend Alumni Mentoring more. ✨

I joined the mentoring programme because I wanted to gain more clarity about the direction my international HR career could take and the opportunities it could offer. The programme gave me the chance to gain inspiration and a different perspective from experienced and successful alumni, while also providing space to work on my own goals and expand my professional network.
My mentor Míša and I agreed on the format and frequency of our meetings based on our schedules, and we decided to stay in touch even after the official programme ended. I would recommend mentoring to anyone, whether they already have a clear career direction in mind or are still figuring it out. It offers valuable perspectives and, above all, the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals.
Laura Bokorová
Right after graduating from university, I often wondered whether I had chosen the right career path. Alumni Mentoring helped me get to know myself better and understand what I actually expected from the first years of my career.
My mentor was a great support throughout the programme. She helped me navigate situations I was experiencing for the first time – from preparing for a performance review to dealing with workplace conflicts.
That is why I would recommend mentoring to anyone. I didn’t just take away practical advice on how to handle everyday situations, but, most importantly, greater confidence in making decisions about what comes next.
