Prodiák Iskolaszövetkezet, Prohuman Zrt’s student employment agency, has entered a strategic agreement with the University of Pécs. As a result of this agreement, the university became a receiving organisation and member of the Prodiák Iskolaszövetkezet network. A future-facing and long-term programme of work is being developed under the aegis of the new partnership. The agency has been organising employment opportunities for students or 12 years, and it also boasts an internship division, which will be particularly beneficial to the university. Prodiák is the second largest student employment agency in Hungary today, and provides work through its partners to thousands of students.
HR-Rent Kft is based in Pécs, and is also a member of the Prohuman group of companies. As a result, it is well-positioned to support the work and services provided by Prodiák Iskolaszövetkezet both in the city of Pécs and across the region. Colleagues from Prohuman Zrt, Prodiák Iskolaszövetkezet and HR-Rent Kft work together as part of the partnership.
A Students’ Career Pathway was also set up under the agreement, through a joint effort between Prodiák, the Careers Office of the university’s Directorate of Education, the Student Services Centre and the Business Relations Directorate. The project involves a mentoring scheme to help students. Staff from Prodiák and the university provide a range of workshops, advice and administrative assistance to the students. They will also set up a platform for business partners to facilitate the sharing of experiences and best practice. The employing businesses will be able to provide feedback on the students’ work, further securing the benefits of cooperation to all three major stakeholders.
This strategic agreement creates a new platform for workforce retention in the region as well as providing an impetus to economic growth and strengthening the labour supply. We are proud of the work delivered jointly across the Group!
