One of Cogent’s major roles is to research and provide Labour Market Intelligence for our sector. We undertake our own original research as well as examining existing publicly-available information to build a strong picture of the sector’s needs and the learning provision available to meet them. We provide details on workforce statistics, for example
Average pay
Numbers of employees
Gender balance
Balance between full-time and part-time working
Investment in staff training
Union representatives may find this information useful when strengthening their own understanding of the sector in which they work, as well as being able to provide information to colleagues.
Perhaps most importantly, our Labour Market Intelligence helps to demonstrate the “business case” for learning, showing how investment in the learning of the workforce helps individuals and employers alike with a positive impact on productivity.
