Building The Next Generation of Business Development Leaders
At ECS, we are all about investing in our people. Our education benefits have helped former interns become experts in cloud artificial intelligence, help desk analysts become cybersecurity specialists, and program analysts become leaders in cloud development.
In 2021, we developed the Culture of Capture program, a 10-month learning experience designed to equip talented ECS employees with the knowledge and tools to become the next generation of business development (BD) and capture leaders. Through mentorship, training, and hands-on learning, participants gain the skills and experience to lead strategic deals and champion ECS’ business growth.
The Culture of Capture program features:
Biweekly one-on-ones with
executive-level ECS mentors
Monthly training in deal identification, account planning, capture tactics, proposal contribution, and pipeline management
Shipley certification on Capturing
Federal Business
Hands-on experience as a capture manager
