One Outstanding Team
What is The Dolphin Centre Academy?
The Dolphin Centre has undertaken a pioneering approach to develop and nurture entrepreneurial mind-sets right across the organisation. They have created a culture whereby staff are fully supported and actively encouraged to behave entrepreneurially – responsibly, passion and drive are key characteristics that are displayed by employees. Part of the Dolphin Centre journey has been its successful approval as an IOEE Enterprise Academy, the status has been used to create structure, recognition and support to ensure they could develop into the entrepreneurial organisation they wished to become. A range of qualifications have been created specifically for the Dolphin Centre Academy, ensuring staff develop the entrepreneurial skills necessary to help the organisation to survive and thrive and serve the people of Darlington.
The Academy was awarded a Special Recognition Award at the Houses of Parliament in 2018.
