Training has a significant and lasting impact on business. Best practice, increased turnover, improved productivity, individual career success all deserve to be recognised, and winning an award brings many benefits.
A sense of pride and kudos goes without saying, and the external recognition acts as an endorsement and validation of your training programme; it demonstrates an organisation´s commitment to investment in its people, positions them as forward-thinking and gives them a competitive edge. For individuals, a career can be transformed and motivation boosted.
Entering the National Training Awards also provides a valuable tool, helping you to evaluate the benefits of your training and development and assessing achievement. Expert feedback throughout the judging process can also be used positively as a tool for future development.
All winners and regional finalists are automatically included in the NTA Ambassador network and will be entitled to the support we offer to our ambassadors nationwide. This will include events specifically designed for ambassadors as well as invites to NTA-run or supported events offering the chance to network with other ambassadors, key partners in the training and development world, business contacts and other finalists. Furthermore, ambassadors can be given the chance to be featured in PR campaigns, national and regional case studies, as well as invited to speak at info sessions and other events. Ambassadors can also be invited to serve as regional and national judges of the National Training Awards. UK Skills provides marketing materials and regular updates to ambassadors on NTA-specific developments as well as aspects of the training, development and business world in general deemed to be of interest.
Previous winners testify to the many advantages to be gained from the National Training Awards - from improved staff morale to new business opportunities through media coverage.
