UPgrade yourself

UPgrade is a Business Organization for Students made project, which was born in 2014 and has the purpose of personal and professional development of the association's members through aquiring soft and hard skills that will help them during the long run in their professional life, focusing on: self-knowledge, career orientation, overcoming their emotions, assumption and responsability.

Project Objectives

The aim of the project is to give students the opportunity to grow more than they do in the university, to have access to experiences that balance personal and professional development, and to strengthen the relationships between the association's volunteers.

UPgrade Festival

The theme of the 2022 edition is based on the approach of the BOS team. Topics covered include connection, initiative, vulnerability, openness and fun. This year's edition is divided into three segments:

Two online trainings with Mara Botez, which are based on the elaboration of projects, with insights and tips & tricks in the field. In addition to the trainings, there will be an activity that will take place within the association's teambuilding: UPgrade Festival.

UPgrade is a project where the evolution of the self can flourish very strongly, along with other human beings, so that each one develops certain parts, both from a personal, collective and associative point of view. One thing I've noticed over time at UPgrade editions is that the people who participate are always close to each other, and the BOS vibe feels wonderful. It is the project that best embodies the essence of this ad-hoc gathering of students, all different, but united under one common umbrella… interested into fulfill those things and dreams that can easily exceed the limits of "boxing".

If the "Upgrade" project existed, "at my age", because a few years have passed since then, it would have been a great opportunity for me to really develop. Everything I learned in BOS or implemented helped me professionally. So, stop thinking and apply!

2020 was a new opportunity to meet the new generation of BOS and I can say that it was a great experience. I had the opportunity to talk about a topic very dear to me, namely Robotics Process Automation and at the same time to participate in other sessions on topics from which I learned many valuable things and especially extremely relevant to my career.

The training on Key Performance Indicators had a unicorn-like feeling: different-unseen, it brought together a number of generations, complex - with a star in the lead. I think it brought to the minds of people the idea that they can overcome the limits more easily than they thought - and this has been seen in practice. It certainly gave us the opportunity to speak freely, to ask for more from the future and to get involved in every opportunity that does appear. I remembered memories at the end that made me shiver and maybe the training was actually all about them. Thanks!

UPgrade. Do you know what it is? Well, neither did I until I was a participant and a speaker. It is the project that brings a common, basic need of all students: personal & professional grow. Or rather, it's that project that talks about "Aha!" moments and after which you know what you can improve / discover in yourself. And you embark on your own journey. And you find that it never ends. And you meet valuable people from whom you can "steal" so many things for yourself. Embrace the context, embrace the process, even the difficult trials, because time does not wait for anyone.
