"My studies gave me a broad overview of different areas of IT. Just as important, though, was the environment of the faculty and the people I met there—they inspired me. It was at the Faculty of Informatics where my decision to focus on content management systems started to take shape and eventually led me to founding my own software company. The faculty attracts some of the most talented IT students from across the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which is why I’ve stayed connected ever since."

Cooperation with the Faculty of Informatics

At Kentico, we believe that great talent grows in an inspiring academic environment. That’s why supporting students and their projects has always been important to us.

One of our key initiatives was Kentico Academy, an internship program designed for students of the Faculty of Informatics. Participants worked closely with mentors from our teams, gaining practical experience by contributing to real product development.

Many of these students continued their journey with Kentico after graduation and are still part of our team today. You can read the story of Filip, who grew from Kentico Academy to a Software Engineer role.

"Kentico caught my attention thanks to the Kentico Academy concept, where I also started. When I joined, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of time we had dedicated to learning new technologies, and by the fact that I left the office each day with new knowledge and experience. At the same time, as part of the Academy, we had the opportunity to work on projects in collaboration with experienced colleagues - projects that had a real impact and were delivered to customers. It was also interesting to see that, over time, being part of Kentico Academy became in many ways similar to working in a regular development team at Kentico. I am currently working as a Junior Software Engineer, and learning definitely doesn’t stop for me - I actively use the “Use Your Friday Well” benefit to continue my development and education."

Nela Achillesová, Junior Software Engineer

"I joined Kentico several years ago through the Kentico Academy program, and for my whole journey, I’ve been surrounded by amazing people. Whether it’s those closest ones from my team, with whom we regularly enjoy all kinds of teambuilding activities, or just colleagues from other departments with whom it’s always a pleasure to meet and chat for a while. It often feels to me like we’re not just colleagues, but simply friends working toward the same goal."

Petr Balazy, Software Engineer

Today, we continue to support the student community through our Community Ambassadors. This group of our colleagues takes part in lectures, workshops, and events, sharing knowledge and real-world experience with students.

We also actively collaborate with the Faculty of Informatics through partnerships with our university partner, Ing. Leonard Walletzký, Ph.D., contributing to guest lectures.

You can also meet us in person at our stand during SPP days, held twice a year, where we’re happy to talk more about our company, technologies, and other opportunities.

"I joined Kentico as an intern, have grown into a mid-level developer, and I'm still growing. I've grown a lot technically, but just as much in everything beyond the code - driving features from the first idea (with UX designers and product managers) all the way to delivery, including one project that had me coordinating work across two teams. And I've evolved just as much on the human side - how I communicate and collaborate with people across the company."

Hana Pospíšilová, Software Engineer

"At Kentico, juniors get involved in real development from day one. They start with smaller tasks and bug fixes, gradually moving on to designing larger features and eventually working on more complex projects. Every engineer is involved not only in implementation but also in solution design, which provides space to develop both aspects of engineering. Throughout this journey, they work in a team of experienced people who are always willing to share their knowledge. I personally joined as a junior while still pursuing my bachelor’s degree, and thanks to the people around me -who gave me the opportunity to contribute to larger projects and lead them from start to finish - I progressed to a Senior DevOps Engineer role even before graduating. For a student, this kind of opportunity is truly exceptional."
