HP LIFE
HP LIFE is a global program supported by the HP Foundation, offering students
free online courses designed to develop the entrepreneurial and IT skills needed to
start and grow a business. The courses are user-friendly, modular, and interactive,
covering a wide range of relevant topics – from design thinking and leadership to
business finance.
Lessons are self-paced, can be accessed anytime, anywhere, and are organized
into five thematic areas: Communication, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Finance,
Marketing, Operations. The courses are available in Romanian on the JA Learn™
platform for both high school and university students.
In addition to these educational resources, students participating in the JA BizzFac-
tory™ Incubator had the opportunity to collaborate directly with HP volunteers
through online mentoring sessions and also during an Innovation Day™ workshop
to solve an on-spot challenge and present projects. The mentoring sessions provi-
ded feedback on business plans and support during the pilot phase of their projects
and better prepared them for the pitch during the semifinal and national final of the
Gen-E Entrepreneurship Competition.
The business pilot with the best use of the available technology received the Best
Tech Idea award at the Gen-E national finals.
