Practical intensive “SMART HR” for students of the Educational program “Personnel management in public authorities and business structures” specialty 281 Public management and administration

“What would your soft skills do if hard skills did not exist, and what would public and personnel management look like if they lost touch with practice?” That is why the economics and public administration department, career development, and cooperation with business at the University prepared this intensive.

On February 21-24, the Department of Economics and Public Administration of the Faculty of Finance and Business Management of Franko University, together with the Public Council under the Personnel Department of the Lviv City Council, organised an intensive course, “SMART HR”, for students of higher education. This event was aimed at students of the Educational Program “Personnel Management in Public Authorities and Business Structures,” majoring in Public Management and Administration. However, the format and topic of the event became interesting for almost 60 students (10 different educational programs) from 5 universities in Lviv.

What is the importance of this intensive?

• An opportunity to discuss practical cases with the best specialists in the HR field and to improve your hard skills.
• Present yourself to a potential employer.
• Get to know a student just as cool as you (students from 5 Lviv universities from 10 different educational programs were interested in our event).
