BOOST works by bringing small teams of students together to work on a current problem for a business. An external organisation will provide the challenge for the day – and the team which produces the most favoured solution may get the opportunity to help implement it! By taking part, you will be using a range of transferable skills, including:
- teamwork and communication
- creativity and problem solving
- working under pressure and timekeeping
- professionalism in a business setting
- leadership
- pitching experience
"I developed my networking skills, budgeting, project management, marketing, and plenty of other soft skills! I would recommend others take part as it puts you outside of your comfort zone and gets you thinking about working for a company and what that would involve."
