BT supports ADN Vocațional, a project that helps Romanians find their vocation and build a career around it

Banca Transilvania supports the ADN Vocațional project, which will be launched on June 19, 2025, in Bucharest. It is designed by the team that created the most listened to personal development podcast in Romania, Mind Architect, presented by Paul Olteanu.

What is Vocational DNA:

• It is intended for discovering one's vocation and building a career guided by meaning, pleasure, and satisfaction, not just necessity.
  
  
• It proposes a paradigm shift in the way people choose and develop their professional path.
  
  
• It provides a clear, applicable framework for vocational guidance, based on an original model, TPVM-P: talents, passions, values, motivations and personality traits.

We go through school preoccupied with evaluation and the future, we acquire some knowledge, mainly through memorization, and, if we are lucky, some skills. However, we leave school without much clarity about what our Talents, Passions, Values are or how our own Personality influences our Motivations and behavior in our future professional life. We then enter the job market full of hope, but also confused, haunted by the pressure not to make mistakes, to demonstrate, by constant comparison with those around us and, sometimes, by unrealistic expectations. We wander professionally, without clarity and under pressure and we make decisions for the future without really knowing ourselves. In this way, the world ends up being poorer. Literally and figuratively. I launched this project with the conviction that one can also work with meaning and satisfaction and not just for survival or comfort. We believe that it is possible to build together a reality in which every Romanian uses their talents daily, in the service of something they are genuinely passionate about, lives aligned with their own values and personality, and in the end receives what motivates them the most. All so that we can reach our potential - to discover our Vocational DNA and build a career around it.

Vocational DNA

On the occasion of the launch of Vocational DNA, a study on career expectations, job satisfaction and the discovery of professional vocation will also be presented. The research was conducted between October 1, 2024 and April 30, 2025, on a sample of almost 2,000 people, aged between 16 and 50.
