TIŠNOV GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Secondary school’s career advice activities
The career guidance activities are divided into respective years of study. Some
of them are held in the format of workshops or lectures, whereas others give
pupils the opportunity to join in individually. The aim of the activity framework
is to address topics of self-awareness, self-presentation and career information
resources. Cooperation with the Gymore (meaning ‘more than a grammar school’)
has brought a special value to the project. Students invite interesting people with

work experience to their school, who then give lectures and lead workshops for
the pupils, school staff and the public. The events are funded through donations
granted by local entrepreneurs. New items have been added to the activity plan in
2018: Career Consultancy for 3rd grade students and a lecture for parents entitled
‘Career Consultancy – the Role of Parents and Human Resources Exchange’
(presentation given by some of the school’s graduates).
