​This is the only crowd-sourced awards program in the corporate training and workforce development industry. Customers, learners, end users, and industry experts all vote based on how effective the tool is and the quality of its services.

​Lorri Freifeld, Editor/Publisher at Training Magazine, puts it as “one of the most competitive (voting) to date, with close to 12,000 votes for nearly 300 providers.”

​

She notes, “These provider organizations are standouts for their customer care, innovation, and training solutions that truly optimize, engage, and prepare learners.”

We’re proud to celebrate this moment with our community.

As technology and AI become more important in many industries, we at We Are Learning always put the learning designer first. We believe learning should stay immersive, emotionally engaging, and relevant for everyone.

We are incredibly honored by Training Magazine's recognition, and we remain dedicated to using AI and modern technology to empower instructional designers to create learning experiences that helps retain knowledge and apply in real-life scenarios.”
