The Princess Royal Training Awards – designed to honour outstanding and innovative training and skills development programmes from UK employers – are now open for applications, until 29th March 2018.
Created by the City & Guilds Group, and now in their third year, the Awards are a unique opportunity for UK businesses to showcase their approach to learning and development and its impact on business performance.
The Princess Royal Training Awards are free to enter for UK organisations of all sizes, across any sector or industry.
Chris Jones, Chief Executive of the City & Guilds Group, commented: “There has never been a more important moment for British businesses to invest in training and development schemes – to both boost productivity and address the growing skills gap.”
He continued: “The Princess Royal Training Awards bring to light the fantastic work organisations around the country are doing to remain competitive in the global market and develop the leaders of tomorrow. I’ve no doubt this year will see us celebrate more businesses that are successfully navigating the complexities of today’s workplace.”
Successful applicants for the Princess Royal Training Award recognition will be announced on 15th August 2018, ahead of a prestigious ceremony in the autumn. In the two previous years, the awards ceremony has taken place at St James’s Palace, hosted by HRH The Princess Royal – details for this year’s ceremony will be confirmed nearer the time.
