Celebrating Excellence at iLearn: Awards 2025 Recap

On 11 April 2025, the iLearn team came together for our first iShare session of the year — a space where we reflect, connect, and celebrate what makes our journey meaningful: our people.

This session was made extra special by hosting our annual awards, where we honoured individuals across the business for their exceptional contributions, performance, and growth.
