Winning a CLC learning award provides several organizational benefits even if you don't get shortlisted. It can gain peer recognition that validates your practice, increase organizational attraction and highlight the key role of learning and development. Winning an award also provides greater internal influence, leverage to create business cases for increased budget and resources, and prestige and progression for the team. To create a winning award entry, align your best projects to the award categories, tell their story with energy and visuals, state the clear business challenge and goals, and highlight your sound training design, evaluation approach, and unique aspects that make your entry stand out.
