The Learning Awards 2027 Finalists Are Announced

This year’s competition attracted a record number of entries across all 21 award categories, reflecting the breadth and dynamism of the learning sector, from global industry leaders to innovative start-ups. The 2027 awards also introduce two new categories: Learning Employer of the Year and Learning Programme of the Year, recognising excellence in two important areas of learning and development.

Each finalist has demonstrated outstanding innovation, performance and measurable impact, earning a place among the sector’s leading organisations and individuals. The finalists now progress to the final judging stage, where independent judging panels will determine the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners. The winner of the Learning Giveback Award, meanwhile, will be determined by a public vote. Edmund Monk, CEO of the LPI, commented:

"Once again, I am heartened to see the workplace learning community rise so resolutely to the challenges we face. The sheer number and quality of entries this year are extraordinary. There is so much innovation, achievement, and passion driving our industry forward - leaving no doubt that L&D professionals continue to prove their essential value and positive influence on business performance.”

The Learning Awards ceremony takes place at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London on 11th February 2027.
