A skilled workforce is critical to the continued success of UK manufacturing and Cogent is the focal point for skills in the Process Industries. As the voice of employers Cogent is working hard to be fully engaged with industry and membership, for a small fee, gives individual companies the opportunity to have a say and benefit from the expanding skills programme.

By being a part of the Cogent community employers will have access to regional networks, the opportunity to get their voice heard with local funders and will be able to share best practice. Cogent has established local community clusters of SMEs to create cost effective training delivery. Cogent also gives employers strategic and sectoral influence and is working to broker bespoke, targeted solutions that meet their workforce development needs. 

Strategy Development Director John Holton said: “It is important that every employer knows that their sector is being represented and that it has a voice and influence in overhauling the skills system. The aim is a more streamlined system grounded in employer-demand.”
