Sunstates Celebrates Third Consecutive Win at the Training Award Gala 2026
On February 23, 2026, leadership from Sunstates Security gathered at a gala in Orlando to officially accept the 2026 Training MVP Award. This prestigious recognition from Training magazine marks the third consecutive year Sunstates has been named to this elite global list, solidifying our position as a world leader in workforce development.
The “Sunstates Difference” in an Evolving Industry
The security landscape is no longer static. In an era of rapidly shifting technology, emerging physical threats, and complex regulatory changes, the industry is constantly evolving. At Sunstates, we recognize that yesterday’s solutions cannot solve tomorrow’s challenges.
“In our industry, the quality of service is defined entirely by the quality of the people providing it,” says the Sunstates leadership team. “We don’t view training as a one-time checkbox or a static requirement. It is a strategic engine for excellence that must evolve as quickly as the environments we protect.”
Beyond the Basics: A Commitment to Constant Growth
While many providers focus on the bare minimum of compliance, Sunstates takes the time to ensure our team members are constantly learning and growing. By investing heavily in our team, we provide our officers and managers with more than just a job; we provide a career path.
Our award-winning approach is built on three pillars of constant development:
- Adaptive Learning: Our curricula are meticulously updated to address new industry-specific needs, from high-stakes data centers to specialized healthcare safety protocols.
- Internal Mentorship: We actively prepare our team for the next step in their careers, resulting in industry-leading retention rates and a leadership team built from within.
- Precision Training: Every program is tailored to exceed state-specific mandates, ensuring our personnel are the most well-prepared in the field.
The Gold Standard of L&D
The Training MVP Awards (formerly the APEX Awards) represent the only global ranking of organizations unsurpassed in harnessing human capital. For 25 years, this program has served as the gold standard for identifying the most effective learning and development (L&D) programs in the world.
As Training Editor/Publisher Lorri Freifeld noted during the event, winners are “bar raisers” and “training champions” who demonstrate a deep dedication to their employees’ professional journeys.
Investing in Our People Means Better Protection for Yours
Accepting this award in Orlando was more than just a celebration of a trophy; it was a reaffirmation of our promise to our clients. By ensuring our team is always at the forefront of industry knowledge, we provide a level of security and peace of mind that can only come from a truly expert workforce.
