The Aerospace Corporation ranked number three out of 46 companies, as one of the Association for Talent Development’s 2014 BEST Award winners.
Aerospace was nominated for its workforce development activities performed by its corporate university, The Aerospace Institute. TAI delivers corporate training for technical education, business and leadership development. The technical curriculum includes mission assurance, space systems architecting, acquisition, technologies and engineering disciplines associated with space missions and systems.
Aerospace competed against nearly 100 organizations from 14 countries. Every organization submitted quantitative and qualitative information to ATD about their learning and talent development practices and programs. Applications were assessed in a blind review by members of the BEST Awards advisory committee, a select group of experts in the field.
BEST winners must demonstrate and leverage the learning function as a strategic business tool to achieve enterprise-wide success; they create, support, and champion learning opportunities for results and a learning culture. ATD recognizes organizations that demonstrate enterprise-wide success as a result of employee learning and development.
