Hear from organizations that have been recognized at Champions of Learning.
"After making significant changes to our onboarding program my first year on the job, it was a perfect opportunity to submit our project. My entire HR team was ecstatic we won and we received numerous accolades from our executive leaders. This project and resulting award has helped both my career and my department grow in respect from others."
"Perhaps most rewarding about receiving a Champions of Learning Award is knowing that peers in the training business recognize your team's talent. As a learning leader, you can also leverage such recognition to build the value of the training function within your organization. The C-suite loves to talk up such accomplishments!"
"Champions of Learning is the one event each year I never miss. It's inspiring, energizing, and reminds me why I love this profession. Make new friends, reconnect with old ones. Whatever you do, don't miss this opportunity to find your tribe."
