The finalists have been named for the
Active Training Awards 2014, which will see the physical activity sector’s top training providers honoured for their efforts in improving the workforce.
Building on the
Active Leisure Awards launched by Active IQ in 2013, the Active Training Awards will celebrate exceptional performance and commitment in vocational training and development within the physical activity sector. The awards are now being run by ukactive in partnership with the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), and are being sponsored by Active IQ.
David Stalker, CEO of ukactive and CIMSPA chair, said: “We are committed to promoting excellence in this area - it is the bedrock of physical activity provision. We look forward to celebrating with all the finalists at this year’s Active Training Awards.”
The awards will be presented on Thursday 27 November at the Crowne Plaza in Marlow. The event is expected to bring together more than 150 training providers, employers and learners to celebrate excellence in education, training and development. In addition to the awards night gala dinner, ukactive and CIMSPA will host an afternoon training workshop to share insights on workforce development and facilitate a robust discussion on education and training.
