Introducing the UNYP Career Office

Supporting our students as they enter a competitive job market

The UNYP Career Office serves students and recent graduates as they transition from the university to the labor market. Research shows that 65% of global graduates feel that attending university has not increased their chances of acquiring a job. The UNYP Career Office is dedicated to bridging this gap by offering a wide range of career services that could help our students develop their skills and elevate their career prospects.

The University of New York in Prague (UNYP) offers a comprehensive Career Office service to all its students, providing one-on-one mentoring at no additional cost. This service includes:

CV check and feedback
Assistance with writing motivation/cover letters
Interview preparation and practice

The Career Office’s mission is to help students become familiar with the job market and feel confident in taking the next step in their professional development. They provide tailored advice and digital tools to support students’ career journeys.

To make the most of this service, students are advised to come to the consultation well-prepared. This means emailing their CV and motivation letter to careeroffice@unyp.cz at least a day in advance, so the Career Office can provide personalized feedback and specific recommendations.
