SkyUniversity

• Hire for attitude and skills more than for
  experience. We look for Excellence.
• For many people, SkyEurope is a University as
  they learn something new(different than cut
  paste from previous job).
• SkyUniversity means giving opportunity to people
  even with long working experience but not in the
  position they have been hired for.
• SkyUniversity means also that most of these
  newcomers do not have previous experience in the
  aviation neither.
• SkyUniversity means as well giving opportunity to
  the current employees to be internally promoted,
  to try their skills in different position than
  the one they joined in.
• SkyUniversity means on-job internal training of
  all employees.
• SkyUniversity means low-cost remuneration of all
  trainees based on productivity and results
• Added value for employee unique chance to have
  responsibility, to learn, to benefit from
  internal accelerated promotion philosophy, to
  gain experience and have fun.

SkyUniversity principles

• For the employee
• Perspective to stay with the Company at the same
  position is time limited, which is in fact the
  same principle as the real University studies (it
  has its end)
• Internal Promotion intensively stimulated, the
  employee is growing with the Company
• Productivity/Results/Targets achievement based
  remuneration no regular mass remuneration
  increases (for example no traditional inflation
  yearly salaries justification)
• For the employer
• Important fluctuation of employees
• Intensive recruitment during whole year
• Permanent changes in staffing new blood
  principle.
• Employees making mistakes while their training
• Permanent pressure on managers to keep training
  their staff
