About The Company

As part of the suite of Crimson business divisions, newly founded Delta Institute offers a suite of extra/super-curricular related products with a clear focus on equipping students with the “delta factor” in their profiles. Delta Institute comprises of:

• Delta Careers: The purpose of this unit is offering and facilitating unique work experience opportunities for high school students. These are cohort based work experience opportunities in partnership with top global companies. We offer a two-fold educational product:

Upskilling: Crimson works with mentors from top fortune 500 companies to offer a foundational setting to learn practical careers skills in specific domains. For every work-experience program, students upskill in two program-specific modules (e.g., Product Management and UI/UX Design). There is also a core module called “Careers Toolkit”, where students immerse in corporate communications and build team-working and team-bonding skills; project-based work skills; leadership skills; and more. In each module, there is rigorous both formative and summative assessment involved.

Case-Study: Crimson partners with top global companies to offer a project-based experience where students will be able to create actual impact through the partner companies. The likes of Uber, PwC, Dentons, Stripe and Ferrari. Divided in teams, they work on a company-assigned case-study for the whole month of the program and present their work in front of company representatives at a final “pitch-night” assembly.

• Delta Launch: Delta Launch is designed to offer high school students a comprehensive set of extracurricular experiences that not only enhance their skills but also add significant value to their college or university applications.

With Delta Launch, students can dive into two distinct, skill-building programs:

Delta AI & Code: This program gives students hands-on experience in AI and coding. They will create their first AI project and develop their first coding solution, gaining practical skills in technology fields that are in high demand. Delta AI & Code prepares students for future academic challenges and career opportunities in STEM fields by equipping them with real-world, project-based experience.

Delta Inspire: In Delta Inspire, students learn how to start their own podcast or organize a TEDx event. This program focuses on practical communication, event planning, and media production skills. By the end of the program, students will have produced a tangible outcome—a podcast or TEDx event—that they can showcase in their portfolios and college applications, demonstrating their initiative, creativity, and leadership.

Overall, Delta Institute products aim at empowering students to reach new heights, bringing all the “delta” in their (university) application profiles. This role will be focusing on overseeing the management, growth and scaling of the Delta Institute division and its suite of units/products.
