A small collective with global impact earns one of the highest honors in women-led business. 

KNOXVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, November 18, 2025 

Clearpath Learning Group has been named Gold Stevie® Award winner in the Best Women-Run Workplace of the Year, ten or fewer employees category, in the 22^nd Annual Stevie® Awards for Women in Business.  

A FLEXIBLE MODEL THAT SCALES

Founded in 2009 by CEO and Lead Practitioner Jenn Kammerdiener, Clearpath is a lean, high-performing collaborative of a handful of carefully selected independent consultants spanning client services and professional roles. This core team expands as needed, partnering with up to twenty specialized professionals and privately owned firms in ways that are both purposeful and mutually beneficial project by project.  

The efficient, resilient construct supports the Learning Strategy and Design firm as it delivers programming to some of the largest and most complex organizations in the world.  

“We want to thank the Stevies for this nod to what we’ve always believed and known. A talented team working under a smart business model can successfully compete with the biggest of firms,” said Kammerdiener. “Unlike many L&D providers, we’re not bound by overhead or fixed structures. We prioritize strategic fit and engage experts sized precisely to scope and need.” 

The firm’s scalable nature provides the space for precise, high-impact solutions without compromise. “We simply operate the way our learning programs do,” continued Kammerdiener. “We’re aligned, targeted, and efficient.” 

DISTINCTION IN THE BALANCE

Judges for the Stevies applauded Clearpath for its work as a “forward-thinking learning strategy and design firm that not only delivers measurable organizational outcomes but also elevates the people who make it possible.” The panel went on to note, “(Clearpath) demonstrates remarkable agility, efficiency, and resilience. Its structure empowers independent consultants to thrive professionally, while simultaneously delivering world-class solutions to a global client base, a rare balance in an industry often constrained by rigid structures.” 

The Gold Stevie® Award adds to a growing list of accolades Clearpath earned in 2024–2025, including: 

• Gold: Best Use of AI for Learning – 2025 Brandon Hall HCM Excellence Awards 

• Gold: Most Unique or Innovative Learning Program – 2025 Brandon Hall HCM Excellence Awards 

• Gold: Best Training for Frontline Leaders – 2025 Brandon Hall HCM Excellence Awards 

• Gold: Best Certification Program – 2025 Brandon Hall HCM Excellence Awards 

• Gold: Best Women-Run Workplace of the Year, ten or fewer employees – 2025 Stevie Awards for Women in Business 

• Gold: Leadership or Skills Development Solution Provider of the Year – 2024 Stevie Awards for Great Employers 

• Gold: Excellence in e-Learning – 2024 CLO Learning in Practice Awards 

• Gold: Best Model of a Growth-Focused Organization – 2024 Brandon Hall HCM Excellence Awards 

• Gold: Best Leadership Development Program – 2024 Brandon Hall HCM Excellence Awards 

• Silver: Best Certification Program – 2024 Brandon Hall HCM Excellence Awards 

• Silver: Best Leadership Development Program – 2024 Brandon Hall HCM Excellence Awards 

• Bronze: Excellence in Partnership – 2025 CLO Learning in Practice Awards 

SMALL FIRM, BIG FOOTPRINT

From its headquarters in the mountains of Tennessee, Clearpath’s lean team has delivered enterprise-level learning experiences to more than 300,000 learners worldwide, across nearly every modality and industry. 

Known for learning strategies that tie individual capability directly to organizational outcomes, it’s been bridging the two with particular attention to the evolution of AI in the workplace. Clearpath’s forthcoming AI Enablement Program, expected in 2026, is a continuation of its people-first mission and will help organizations build the human side of AI readiness. 

Kammerdiener noted, “L&D is built for people. We provide our clients with strategies and programs to help their people do their best work. Clearpath’s internal challenge isn’t generally in the work itself, but in protecting the space we need as practitioners to do the kind of work that makes it world-class. We’ve had to find the balance between scaling, serving clients, and saying yes to growth. There were paths to expansion we didn’t take and ways to sell that we said no to because they didn’t align with our mission or vision.” 

“The goal has been to build a company that can evolve without losing its essence,” she continued. “I’m so proud to be able to say we are being recognized for doing just that. This is a celebration of our unique organization and, importantly, the people whose brilliance helped put it on top.”

KNOXVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, September 30,2025

/EINPresswire.com/ Clearpath Learning Group, a performance-based learning strategy firm serving clients across industries and continents, has been named a finalist for two of the world’s most prestigious awards.

TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN: PARTNERSHIP AND CULTURE

Some awards honor how a company transforms its clients. Others celebrate how it transforms its own people. This season, Clearpath is being recognized for both.

The Chief Learning Officer (CLO) Learning in Practice Awards named Clearpath a finalist in the Provider Award for Excellence in Partnership category, spotlighting firms that serve as trusted advisors, shaping innovative learning strategies effectively aligned with business goals. Final placements will be announced on October 16.

At the same time, the Stevie® Awards for Women in Business selected Clearpath as a finalist for Best Women-Run Workplace of the Year, 10 or Less Employees. From over 1,500 entries representing 48 nations and territories, Clearpath stands among a select few honored for building a workplace where scale is measured not by headcount but by impact. Gold, Silver, and Bronze will be revealed at the Stevie® Awards gala in New York City on November 10, broadcast live worldwide.

A SMALL FIRM WITH A GLOBAL REACH

These honors tell our story well,” said Jenn Kammerdiener, Founder & CEO of Clearpath Learning Group. “They show that a small, tightly knit team based in Tennessee can earn recognition across continents, not just for how we partner with clients, but for the culture we’ve built inside our own walls. Size is no barrier. What matters is that we bring expertise and dedication to the work we do, and that in everything we do, we put people first. That means our clients, their people, and our own outstanding team.”

A global partner echoed the sentiment. “We’re continually impressed by the heavy lifting Clearpath’s team takes on. Even with rapidly shifting project priorities, they handle every challenge with grace and the utmost professionalism.”

“What matters most about this recognition is that it’s not just for the work we deliver, but for how we do it,” Kammerdiener continued. “Our commitment is to the results of our programs, but also to the experience of working with us. That’s always been very important to us. You see it in every strategy, every partnership, and every interaction with clients and within our own team, too.”

“Trends come and go, but the work we do is always about the people.” Kammerdiener continued. “Whether it’s a fintech powerhouse or a global humanitarian non-profit, our process is consistent: we dig deep, define what others often overlook, and create learning that’s practical, relevant, and scalable. That’s the kind of learning that proves its value over time.”

We think differently. It’s just great that our designs for AI-enabled programs and volunteer disaster response training can be celebrated side by side. In this space, the challenges are complex, but the goal is fairly straightforward. We empower people to perform at their best, no matter the context.”

By taking the time to analyze an organization’s true problem, authentic need, and hidden opportunity we’re able to properly define/re-define what we are really trying to accomplish on behalf of our partners. It’s the only way to turn good outcomes into great ones. Receiving an award of this stature is affirmation of our approach and the work we so deeply invest ourselves in,” said Jenn Kammerdiener, Founder, CEO, and Lead Practitioner at Clearpath.

Their ability to deliver meaningful and impactful work is evident.”

“We congratulate all of the winners in the ninth edition of the Stevie® Awards for Great Employers for their outstanding performance, and we look forward to celebrating their achievements,” said Stevies president Maggie Miller.
