"The guest is always right... in other words, about careers and work in the hotel."
An occupational and educational trip to the Mercure Jelenia Góra Hotel as part of the Career Fair - a series of meetings between students and entrepreneurs, organized from the project "Live, reside, work in Jelenia Góra!"
On September 27, 2022, a group of students from Primary School No. 11 in Jelenia Góra participated in an occupational and educational trip to the Mercure Hotel in Jelenia Góra.
The purpose of the trip was to learn more about the profession of a hotelier and the principles of hotel operation. The students were introduced to the workstations that can be found in a hotel. The hotel's managers introduced the young people to the hotel's organizational units and work areas, such as first floor services, reception services, floor services, catering, laundry, administration, technical department, conference services, recreation department, booking department, sales and marketing department. During a tour of the premises "from behind the scenes", an important element was pointed out: working in these departments requires separate qualifications and competencies, as well as personality traits. It was discussed what jobs are performed in each department. The scope of activities and requirements for each job were presented. It was also noted that it is crucial to have supra-occupational competencies checked and verified during recruitment to specific positions. The young people were shown around the visited facility, where they observed the work of people in particular positions and where they could also ask questions about specific professions.
At the meeting with the entrepreneur, the students learned a brief history of the Jelenia Góra hotel. The meeting participants also explained the range of standards for hotel facilities in terms of the stars awarded.
The Career Fair - a series of meetings between students and entrepreneurs are intended to assist young people in choosing their future profession and the associated choice of secondary school.
We would like to thank the managers and employees of the Mercure Jelenia Gora Hotel for the warm welcome, professional service and pleasant atmosphere.

In the end, weary wanderers could cheer up with a hot meal and a sausage baked on the campfire.
The Amphibian Protection campaign began on 11 April 2022 on the road No. 366 between Jelenia Góra – Sobieszów and Podgórzyn. On the first day, protective fences were set up by employees of the Karkonosze National Park. On the next day, the official launch of the campaign was announced with invited guests, residents, students and teachers of the nearby Primary School No. 15. The event was also attended by representatives of radio and television. The event was combined with a broadly understood educational action on the useful role of amphibians, the need to protect them and the practical implementation of these measures.
