Shireburn Software announced the opening of the Shireburn Academy on 30th January, with an inaugural evening attended by clients, partners, staff, and industry stakeholders.

According to a statement, this new dedicated space for learning and development marks a "significant step in Shireburn’s ongoing commitment to helping companies leverage the full potential of technology through expanding core competencies, developing domain knowledge and integrating soft skills."

The Shireburn Academy offers HR professionals and business leaders the opportunity for personal and organisational growth and development through a variety of in-person courses, masterclasses, and workshops.

The statement added that the academy will kick off with a range of courses related to HR but will expand to cover topics related to leadership and other domains where Shireburn products operate.

“Our mission with the Shireburn Academy is to empower professionals and leaders to create environments where their people succeed,” said Yasmin De Giorgio, CEO of Shireburn.

“The Academy aims to develop three crucial pillars – core technical competencies, industry insight/domain knowledge, and emotional intelligence. By supporting the growth of individuals and teams, we’re helping organisations achieve sustainable success. The Academy is a place where learning meets real-world application, and it’s part of our broader commitment to ongoing innovation and collaboration,” she added.

A collaborative culture

The Shireburn Academy stated that it distinguishes itself through a collaborative approach to learning, having already announced partnerships with entities such as MISCO, Dots, and Fenech & Fenech Advocates, with more to be revealed soon.

According to the statement, the Academy works closely with high-calibre industry experts to ensure that its courses reflect the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the workplace. It added that participants will have the opportunity to learn from professionals who are shaping the future of work culture, leadership, and business strategy, gaining insights that can be immediately applied within their organisations.

With this new initiative, Shireburn says it is going further in the journey to support their clients. “The journey doesn’t end at the implementation of their products. In fact, there begins a drive to keep on getting more and more out of the technology through ongoing training and knowledge expansion. Through collaboration and practical learning, the Academy offers a unique opportunity for businesses to cultivate stronger, more adaptable teams,” it adds.
