UNYP Strengthens Industry Connections to Expand Employment Opportunities at Recruitment Academy Awards 2026

The University of New York in Prague (UNYP) attended and supported the Recruitment Academy Awards 2026, reinforcing its commitment to building strong relationships with employers and the recruitment sector in order to expand career opportunities for its students.

The Recruitment Academy Awards are among the most prominent events in the region focused on recruitment, talent acquisition, and HR marketing. The event brought together leading professionals, companies, and innovators who are actively shaping how organizations attract and develop talent.

For UNYP, participation in events of this kind is closely aligned with its core mission. Ensuring strong employment outcomes for graduates requires more than academic preparation alone. It depends on actively engaging with employers, understanding evolving market needs, and creating direct connections between students and industry. Building these bridges is a key priority, and platforms such as the Recruitment Academy Awards provide an important opportunity to do so.

“For UNYP, events like the Recruitment Academy Awards are not just about recognition, but about connection. Engaging with leading employers and recruiters helps us better understand the market and, most importantly, create real opportunities for our students to succeed after graduation.”

— Ivana Knudson, Head of Careers, UNYP

A key moment of the evening was the presentation of the UNYP Recruiter of the Year Award, which was awarded to Petr Švach in recognition of his excellence and contribution to the field. As part of this recognition, Petr Švach will be invited to participate in an upcoming edition of UNYP’s MBA program, further strengthening the connection between academic development and professional practice.

By actively engaging with the recruitment community, UNYP continues to ensure that its students are well-positioned to succeed in an increasingly competitive global job market.
