Did you know that delaware provides a diverse range of learning & development opportunities, including customized 'bootcamps'? These programs create a dynamic learning atmosphere that encourages personal and professional growth.
Our learning & development team, delaware Academy, wants to inspire growth in a tailormade program where the employee is taking ownership of their own growth path. Doesn’t everyone ultimately have their own needs? Right.
We want to recognize, motivate and foster a learning culture with growth mindset. The bootcamps offer the unique opportunity to connect with their peers and their leadership to expand their network. And of course, we want to celebrate career milestones!
United, we stand and together we empower all our #peopleofdelaware to obtain their utmost necessary skills, knowledge, and competence to confidently walk their career path.
We organise different role and level-based bootcamps, inviting promoted colleagues for that level to participate. Each year in September we organise a 4-week analyst bootcamp for our starters. Next to that we also have our yearly consultant, senior, manager bootcamp and our role-based team lead bootcamp.

The bootcamp exceeded my expectations in fostering connections and self-awareness. Engaging with different team leads provided valuable insights into diverse approaches in an informal atmosphere as it provides a platform for meaningful connections and growth. The bonds formed during the bootcamp continue to enrich my professional journey, serving as a network of support and inspiration in my daily work.
