Who is eligible to apply?

* Applicants do not need to be ATD members.

* The Excellence in Practice program is for internal talent development practices and initiatives that organizations use to enhance and develop the knowledge, skills, and capabilities of their employees. 

* Practices must be fully implemented to be considered. Pilot programs are NOT eligible for review. By "fully implemented" it means the practice should be in place at least two years, including its pilot launch phase.

* Previous Award winners may resubmit their practice in the same category five years after winning an Excellence in Practice Award. The expectation is that significant enhancements would be made to the practice if it is resubmitted.
