Course content

The practical training is in the real-life environment of enterprises, firms, public sector offices or other institutions with an orientation on managerial activities. The actual place where the practical training is to be performed is chosen by the student independently. Students will complete a one month of practical training with the aim of familiarising themselves with the real-life and factual needs and requirements of the target institution in which they plan to work as an assistant or to help workers in a department to communicate with colleagues abroad or there, where the proprietor share in a foreign institution influences the communication language used within the firm, enterprise or other institution. Students will orient themselves on the elaboration of written documentation and various forms of communication (e.g. oral, traditional written correspondence, e-mail, etc.) and will devote their attentions to the types and levels of enterprise cultures which may determine cooperation, communication and public relations. Students will always be able to work according to the instructions given to them by the previously agreed upon selected "Mentor", and will have to keep a practical training diary (Student's training sheet) and actively engage themselves in performing and solving their assigned tasks.
