- Two business categories that recognise businesses and employees who have developed their organisations as a result of learndirect learning

Learning changes lives, builds business performance and impacts on society and the UK economy as a whole. Skills are fundamental to achieving our ambitions for ourselves, our families and our communities. They help businesses thrive and enable people to realise their employment potential.
Learning with learndirect has been life-changing for Lisa Barnett who won the 2009 National Progression Award. When she took her first learndirect course she was unemployed and nervous about taking the first step back into learning. She is now studying for a degree in youth justice at university.
