Entrepreneurship Day at Inkubator Technologiczny took place on 21 November at Krakow Technology Park.

The meeting was well-attended and was organised in cooperation with Centrum Innowacji, Transferu Technologii i Rozwoju Uniwersytetu (CITRU) and Malopolska Agencja Rozwoju Regionalnego (MARR). Richard Lucas, business guru and chairman of the research and consultancy company PMR, appeared as a special guest and led a workshop on the subject of being an entrepreneur in Krakow.

Dr Slawomir Kopec, the KPT chairman, expressed hope that Entrepreneurship Day at Inkubator Technologiczny KPT would become a regular event and provide a permanent venue for meetings for young people eager to become entrepreneurs.

PMR at first Global Entrepreneurship Week click here »

2008-11-23 Basia Tarnowska

For the first time Poland participated in Global Entrepreneurship Week - and so did PMR!

Richard Lucas, the chairman of PMR, often referred to as a “business guru”, delivered lectures on the subject of starting an enterprise in at conferences and other events associated with GEW.

Our company also hosted a group of seven-year-old children from a Polish primary school. The children had the opportunity to talk to PMR managers, and to ask and learn about distant places, new information and business. For example, in order to explain market needs to the pupils we carried out a survey among them on the subject of… their favourite flavour of ice-cream! – as you can imagine this was well-received.

As we tend to make them as practical as possible, such visits seem to be a great experience for that age group, and, at the same time, it furthers many educational objectives. This time, for example, the children learned:

how to say their name in different languages, such as English, French, Italian, German and Russian
how to market their school among their peers – this task was also a first trial/experience of brainstorming and speaking in public for many of them.

Last but not least, we had a pleasant surprise for the children – a magic show performed by our sales consultant, Marek Lorek.

Both sides, children and PMR, found this trip very fruitful and it was really hard to say goodbye.

Since PMR's policy has always been to be close to people, also this October PMR participated in the Work Fair at the University of Economics. There were people looking for full-time position as well as students interested in internships. We met dozens of interesting people, gathered loads of resumes and invited many interested people to visit our website. Some of the candidates have already been at interviews at Supniewskiego, fa ew of them will join PMR team really soon. Summing up, our participation in such events seems to be very successful for PMR!
Generally, work fairs correspond well with our CSR and Company Values, while providing us with the opportunity to find out more about job seekers: graduates and professionals, and also give work-fair visitors the chance to get to know us better. We highly respect people interested in our business, so you can always expect to meet a friendly team of managers or experienced specialists well prepared to talk to you about PMR, our business, career opportunities and stages of the recruitment process.

As part of the 50/50 CSR and recruitment action, on 17 July PMR joined international AIESEC trainees on the boat that took us to the trip along the Vistula River. Those who experienced it for the first time had a chance to see how our beautiful city looks like from the side of water, but also spend nice time chatting with the trainees, exchanging opinions and finding out about their views on first professional steps, Polish cities, people, cuisine, etc. Our aim there was, firstly, to spend nice time, and secondly to show the AIESEC trainees PMR way of work, explaining our priorities and values. Looks like we succeeded in making them interested – after the event I got CVs of some interesting candidates, maybe not to be employed today but at some point of our and their development for sure.

Enterprise Day with PMR - how about entrepreneurship in a nursery school? click here »

2008-05-01 Kasia Mietniowska

On 21 May we had another school visit. This time the challenge was even bigger: the children were between 3 and 4 years of age!!! This was a pilot visit to see whether children from pre-schools can have a successful company visit in the run up to Global Entrepreneurship Week that is taking place in November (Poland is part of GEW for the first time this year). The experiment was very successful. The kids did a walk across all numerous rooms of PMR location at Supniewskiego, listened to funny stories about what the specialists in each department do, experienced seating behind the desk with two computers and... counted our stairs :) Preschoolers had also the opportunity to play sell-and-buy game with senior managers in PMR and it looked like both sides were happy about it.

2008-04-01 Kasia Mietniowska

On 3 April PMR participated in the Enterprise Day organized by Fundacja Młodzieżowej Przedsiębiorczości, a foundation modelled on the US Junior Achievement and 's Young Enterprise programs. Our company was visited by seven teenagers from two high schools, three of them motivated enough to come to us from Jastrzębie Zdrój! The main objective of the program was to help young people to understand how medium-sized, international companies (like PMR) are working, to give them an insight into economy and business by sharing our experience, and of course to inspire their desire for enterprise! So apart from a tour around the company and presentation of PMR prepared by Richard, our guests had some practical exercises concerning sales and marketing.

AIESEC Reception Weekend was a great chance for us to meet an international team of interns working currently in . In order to give them an opportunity to know PMR better, we met them in their hostel and during the short presentation held by Richard Lucas (the Chairman of our company), we made them aware of what kind of company we are, who PMR team are, what candidates we can be looking for, etc. The presentation ended up with a friendly chat and we all moved to Midgard pub to socialize together. We spent great time talking, getting interesting views of distant cultures, and dancing. It seems to be also the opinion of the interns, since we got a number of work and internship applications after that:)
