The education sector is entering a period defined by innovation, strategic growth, and evolving learning models. This edition highlights initiatives that illustrate how organisations are adapting to meet the changing demands of learners and industry alike.

Looking back to earlier this year, 'Bristol Myers Squibb Wins Best Internship Programme Award at Education Awards 2025' demonstrates how structured experiential learning can drive talent development and organisational impact. That recognition sets the stage for the 2026 awards, signalling continued focus on excellence in educational programmes.

In addition, 'MESO secures funding from Enterprise Ireland to expand AI curriculum platform' underscores how technology is increasingly central to curriculum design. The investment reflects a growing emphasis on preparing learners with the skills needed for an AI-driven economy.

Meanwhile, 'Fitch Learning acquires Moody’s and CSI to expand global financial education' highlights the strategic use of acquisitions to broaden learning reach and expertise. Combining content and technology is creating scalable, high-quality educational experiences worldwide.

These stories illustrate a sector embracing innovation, strategy, and learner-centric approaches. Organisations that integrate these principles are positioned to deliver impactful, future-ready education outcomes.
