The National Training Awards are designed to celebrate organisations and individuals that demonstrate outstanding business and personal success through investment in training. By recognising best practice, the awards aim to raise awareness and inspire others to invest in learning and development as a route to becoming world class.
In today´s highly competitive and ever-changing economic climate, training is more important than ever. The creation of a highly skilled workforce increases performance and productivity, brings success to individuals and businesses, and contributes to the UK as a whole, enhancing our credibility and reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the global economy. Put simply, training reaps rewards - and it is within every company´s power to raise standards and ensure positive change and future success.
Recognised as the most prestigious training awards in the UK, The National Training Awards are now in their 21st year and have been restyled for 2008 to more fully reflect the needs of today´s economy and society, and to provide equal opportunity for all organisations and individuals across every sector.
The National Training Awards are run by UK Skills on behalf of the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills.
