I\u2019m excited that we will continue our quarter-of-a-century of honoring stellar human capital development by recognizing those companies that are, indeed, the Most Valuable Players (MVPs) in the Training\/Learning and Development (L&amp;D) industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as the publication did for the Training APEX Awards, it will rank organizations based on information they provide in the Training MVP Awards application that demonstrates how they provide their employees with world-class training and development that aligns with business goals and contributes to behavior change and business outcomes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What does the rebranding mean for applicants?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Training MVP Awards application process will remain the same with the same timeline: application is available for download now at <a href=\"https:\/\/MVPawards.trainingmag.com\/\">https:\/\/MVPawards.trainingmag.com\/<\/a>; application due September 2, 2025; winners notified the last week of November 2025; rankings revealed at the Training MVP Awards Gala February 23, 2026, at Disney\u2019s Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, FL, during the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trainingconference.com\/\">Training 2026 Conference &amp; Expo<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The process of scoring the Training MVP Awards application will remain the same\u2014quantitatively by an outside analyst and qualitatively by the Training Hall of Famers (organizations that achieved a Top 10 ranking for four consecutive years) and Editor\/Publisher Lorri Freifeld.<\/li>\n<li>All 2026 Training MVP Awards applicants will receive a feedback report and qualitative scorecard and have the opportunity to do a feedback call with Editor\/Publisher Lorri Freifeld, as usual.<\/li>\n<li>The 2026 Training MVP Awards application remains the same as the 2025 Training APEX Awards application; Editor\/Publisher Lorri Freifeld just made a minor scoring change in the Tuition Reimbursement section.
