Student job fair participation

At Rockwell Automation, fresh perspectives fuel innovation, which is why we regularly join student job fairs at Prague universities, including iKariera at CTU and Dny firem at Charles University. These events let us meet young talent, showcase our technologies, and offer interactive demos, challenges, and conversations with our engineers. Visit our booth at upcoming fairs to learn more about Rockwell and our career paths.

Employee Success Stories

During my master’s studies, I joined the internship program in the Prague office because the work aligned closely with my bachelor’s degree. I quickly became interested in controllers and really liked both the office environment and the people. That’s why I was excited to receive an offer to join the company as a fulltime employee.

I’m surrounded by coworkers I can learn a lot from, and I appreciate that the company is diverse while still valuing in person connections and a strong team oriented mindset. As the focus of our work shifts over time, it remains engaging rather than repetitive.

Ivana Klikarova - Associate Engineer

I joined Rockwell more than ten years ago, completely inexperienced but eager to learn. The company gave me a great place to grow in an absolutely friendly environment. I started as a firmware engineer in a team of fantastic engineers, where we tackled many technical challenges together. Their support allowed me to develop into a Product Owner and later a Product Capability Owner, an opportunity I wouldn’t have had without the people around me. I enjoy coming to the office and working on products that make a real difference, and I take pride that our solutions consistently help set the standard in our field.
