INTRODUCTION

The Apollo Awards recognizes organizations that promote employee development. The awards reflect the commitment of employers who engage in best practices with their workforce to provide programs and initiatives that create a culture of continuous learning.  In the last two years, over 700 organizations in the greater Washington area have participated. These employers realize a “best place to work” environment which provides them a competitive advantage in hiring and retention.
