Congratulations to this year’s finalists…
Learning and Work Institute received a wide range of wonderful stories for this year’s awards, so it was difficult to choose just a few winners.
We worked with an independent panel of judges across the adult learning sector for the final selection round. The stories of the individuals, community projects and organisations listed below were successful in getting to the finalist stage and were presented to panel. Whilst the nominees below didn’t win the overall category award, we at Learning and Work Institute and our expert panel of judges would like to acknowledge and congratulate them for their remarkable achievements in learning and skills and we hope they continue to take positive steps on their journey.
