Custom Program Design

No one understands your organization’s learning gaps better than you. That’s why we’ve created our custom programming solutions, to help tailor your team’s professional development experience to ensure learning needs are met and gaps in skillsets are closed.

Custom Program Options

We offer two approaches when you are thinking of designing a custom program with DeGroote.

Design a Custom Program

Work directly with a member of our team and a program facilitator to develop and design content based on your organizational needs. Our custom design process ensures that all program content is relevant to your organization, your corporate culture, and recognizes the opportunities to further develop your team.

Programs can be delivered onsite at the Ron Joyce Centre in Burlington, offsite at your desired location, or in some cases, virtually.

Leverage Established Courses

Build a program from our list of available courses that will be delivered privately to your team. This can be done with one course or a selection of courses.

Work directly with a member of our team and a program facilitator to tailor the course material to your organization’s specific needs and outcomes.
