This award highlights TrainingPros’ continued commitment to fostering a culture of learning and supporting talent development professionals nationwide.
Employee Learning Week, held annually during the first full week of December, is ATD’s call to action for companies to showcase their commitment to talent development. Hundreds of organizations across industries participate, using the week to engage employees, spark learning conversations, and support professional growth.
“At TrainingPros, learning is the heart of everything we do,” said Leigh Anne Lankford, President. “Being named a Champion of Learning reflects our deep commitment to the L&D community—from the consultants we support to the clients we serve.”
A Week of Celebration and Impact
During ELW 2024, TrainingPros launched a series of engaging initiatives designed to amplify the importance of continuous learning:
• Shared daily learning tips and insights across social media channels.
• Released a special podcast episode featuring a guest on how to build a culture of learning.
• Published an educational blog post on why Employee Learning Week matters.
• Held giveaways for consultants, including access to professional development resources.
These activities reflect TrainingPros’ mission to support both corporate learning teams and independent consultants in building high-impact training programs.
Why It Matters
Employee development is more critical than ever, as organizations face fast-changing workplace demands and an ongoing skills gap. TrainingPros partners with L&D leaders to provide experienced consultants in instructional design, eLearning development, facilitation, and more—helping clients design, develop, and deliver results-driven learning solutions.
“ELW is a meaningful way to recognize the people behind great training—those creating onboarding programs, coaching leaders, and designing engaging eLearning,” added Leigh Anne Lankford. “We’re proud to be part of a movement that champions continuous learning at every level.”
