A participant will learn about career in a start-up as well as a corporate sector. The participants will work with case studies of large corporate IT projects and careers of successful IT graduates. We will create our own virtual start-up and will go through the usual process of setting goals, defining a business plan, minimum viable product and we will present to a group of professional evaluators in a Prague Start-up incubator. Therefore the participants will gain experience as to what values and principles are key for professional and creative communication, cooperation and leadership.
