What we want to achieve

A good start in any job market

We want the young people we support to look beyond the interests linked to their degree course — not only to discover their passions and interests, but also to test their skills against realistic challenges.

We want them to be active, creative and adaptable — and to feel at ease in today’s job market. In any job market. We are convinced that together we can increase young academics’ chances of a good start.

Who we support

The students, schools and halls of residence we help

First and foremost, students of Ignatianum University — and, through 1.5% of tax, also schools and halls of residence run by the Jesuits and the Child Protection Centre.

Students

Young people whose interests go beyond their degree course

We support students active in social, cultural, educational and sports fields. We promote creativity, entrepreneurship and commitment, because we believe that not only knowledge but also experience will help graduates feel confident in the job market.

We also work for the university itself: we promote it among prospective students, build cooperation with other universities and institutions, and maintain relations with alumni.

Institutions

The university, schools and halls of residence we support

With 1.5% of income tax we support Ignatianum University in Kraków, schools and halls of residence run by the Jesuit order (the Southern Polish Province of the Society of Jesus), the Child Protection Centre and our Kredkobranie campaign.
