It’s not just winning that makes applying for a TJ Award worthwhile, a survey of last year’s short listed finalists proved that at every level of award entry, from putting together your submission to winning the award, there are real benefits to reap with improvement in evaluation being top of the list for most.
"Going through the process of writing an award submission forced us to scrutinise our training design and evaluation processes and this was extremely beneficial"
Karen Fleming, Global Learning and Development Manager, Hydratight Ltd
