The Learning in Practice Awards, which are now in their fifteenth year, recognize key players in the learning world that have created and delivered exceptional employee development programs.

The 2018 Learning in Practice Awards winners were announced 02 October during the Chief Learning Officer Fall Symposium at the Marriott Marquis in Houston, Texas. Learnlight's CEO Benjamin Joseph; Aishah Davis, Head of Product Management; and Brett Walker, Head of US Business Development attended the awards event.

On receiving the award, Benjamin Joseph commented, "We are enormously proud to receive the prestigious Chief Learning Officer Gold Award for the best use of blended learning for our partnership with Deutsche Telekom. This reward is a true recognition of the digital transformation that Deutsche Telekom and Learnlight have delivered to the telecommunication organization's global language training program."

In 2016 Learnlight became Deutsche Telekom's sole global provider of blended English language training services as part of their Global English digital transformation initiative. Learnlight's language training solutions have now been integrated into Deutsche Telekom's Learning Management System (LMS), giving Deutsche Telekom employees the flexibility to design their own personalized learning experiences.

Learnlight's blended learning program, which is specifically developed for professionals working in an international environment, has fundamentally improved the intercultural communication skills of Deutsche Telekom employees, as well as considerably reducing the company's training spend. Learnlight's blended training approach has unified more than 50 Deutsche Telekom countries under one global language training solution.

Learnlight is unique in the learning sector for offering a truly blended approach, not just for language training, but also for over 200 soft skills programs covering Personal, Communication, Virtual, Management, and Intercultural Skills.
