The Learning Awards 2024 Finalists Announced
The LPI (Learning and Performance Institute) is proud to announce the finalists for the 2024 LEARNING AWARDS, the learning sector’s annual celebration of outstanding achievement, best practice and excellence in workplace learning and performance.
The finalists for the 2024 Learning Awards were announced today by the LPI, moving them one step closer to the learning industry's most prestigious accolade: a bronze, silver or gold winner.
The 21 awards categories received a record-breaking number of submissions from individuals and organisations around the globe, from leading international brands to emerging start-ups. All the shortlisted finalists have been selected due to their demonstration of innovation, their exceptional performance, and their contribution to the learning profession.
The shortlisted entries will now progress to the judging stage, where panels of independent industry experts will evaluate each entry and decide the ultimate winners. The Learning Giveback award will be decided by public vote.
The LPI's CEO, Edmund Monk, said: "Once again, I am heartened to see the workplace learning community rising so resolutely to the challenges we face. We have been inundated with entries this year. More than ever before. There is so much innovation, so much achievement, and so much passion coming from our industry right now, that there can be no doubt: the people who work in L&D are proving their essential value and positive influence on business performance. It is these people, and the companies they work for, that the Learning Awards seeks to recognise and honour. From the established brand names to the start-ups, from seasoned leaders to those just beginning their L&D career, every finalist here has already achieved that recognition. I offer my deepest congratulations to all our finalists, and I look forward to meeting them personally at the Marriott Grosvenor House London on the 22nd of February 2024."
The headline sponsor of the 2024 Learning Awards is RiseUp. CEO & Co-Founder at Rise Up, Arnaud Blachon said "Here at Rise Up, we have a profound belief in the power of learning and innovation to shape a brighter future for everyone; our mission is to enable learning in the flow of work for all. Sponsoring the LPI’s Learning Awards is not just an investment in recognizing excellence but a commitment to fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development. These awards mirror our values by celebrating those who strive for knowledge, embrace growth, and harness the potential of learning to lead us into a new era of progress and enlightenment.
Our strategic relationship with the LPI holds a special place in our journey. Being bestowed the honoured status of an Accredited Learning Technologies by the LPI in 2022 and 2023 validates our dedication to delivering best-breed learning solutions. By aligning our mission with the LPI's commitment to learning effectiveness, we aim to create a future where learning is not a separate endeavour but an integral part of every professional's journey. Together, Rise Up and the LPI are not only recognizing achievements but also championing the transformative power of learning to shape a world where innovation knows no bounds".
