Second Elections to the Board of Alumni

The FIR Alumni Club is a club for all graduates of the Faculty of International Relations at the University of Economics, Prague! It aims to connect alumni not only with each other but also with the Faculty and its current students.

And how the Club works? It will be managed by the Board of Alumni with President in the lead – all graduates of FIR. Every master’s programme should be represented by one member in the Board of Alumni. The members appoint President of the Board among themselves.

The second election to the Board of Alumni, the club’s presidency, is taking place right now!

Vote for your candidates and select a representative to the Board for your program for the next two years!

Program:

POINT 1: Connecting graduates, current students and FIR.

Quality contacts are priceless. Connecting with the right people can predetermine your success, or at least direct you to the desired goal. In my opinion, the priority of the FIR Alumni Club should be:

to enable its members to expand their own contact base within and outside of FIR → regular networking and joint events
to facilitate the exchange of information and experience between all club members and FIR → creation of own website of the Alumni Club FIR VŠE (see point 4) → secondary communication via social networks (Facebook / LinkedIn …)

POINT 2: Active contact with the labour market

Awareness of the current trends in the development of the labour market is a prerequisite for successful career development or self-employment.

The Alumni Club FIR should:

help its members maintain an overview of developments in the labour market and thus contribute to better decision-making on work issues → sharing news and trends from the Czech and foreign work environment → discussion / mentoring between the FIR graduates and current students
offer the possibility of direct connection with companies or their representatives’ → workshops with professionals (according to industry/topics) -> informal “presentation” of companies → offer of specific job positions on the Alumni Club FIR website (see point 4)

POINT 3: Monitoring current topics and trends in society

An integral part of functioning in a cosmopolitan society is the orientation in current issues and the ability to form one’s own opinion on various social issues. However, it is not always possible to discuss these issues with foresight and in context (complexity of the issue/absence of critical thinking/unwillingness to accept a different opinion, etc.). In this context, the Alumni Club FIR should:

Create opportunities to debate on current social issues → discussions with experts on a certain issue

POINT 4: Presentation of the activities of the Alumni Club FIR within the graduate portal

Ensuring a functioning platform that will facilitate the implementation of points 1-3 and thus become the first contact point for members of the Alumni Club FIR VŠE. It also provides:

Current information on the club’s activities (eg event planning)
Presentation of the FIR Alumni Club to the public as an elite association of graduates of the University of Economics in Prague
Contact point for companies and their specific job offers

POINT 5: points 1-4 in a fun form 🙂
