More than 200 organisations and individuals from across the UK have reached the finals of this year’s National Training Awards. The awards, which this year have seen a 28% increase in entries, aim to celebrate the outstanding success of individuals and organisations.
Of this year’s finalists, 47 are working on projects for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games and 131 have signed up to the governments Skills Pledge, a voluntary, public commitment to develop employees’ basic skills and work towards relevant qualifications to at least Level 2.
The Awards are organised on behalf of the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills by UK Skills.
UK Skills chief executive, Simon Bartley, said: “The National Training Awards provide tangible examples of the positive effects of investment in high quality training. I am delighted to see such a diverse range of quality entries in 2008. On behalf of UK Skills I would like to congratulate the finalists who have made the shortlist for the Awards.
“It’s clear that individuals and organisations who invest in high quality training reap the benefits. Training not only increases performance and generates growth but it fosters team building and leads to the broader success of the organisation.”
The premier sponsor of the National Training Awards is City & Guilds. The Awards are also supported by Investors in People
