 To compete successfully in today’s global markets a skilled workforce is essential. All the research shows that skilled employees bring significant business benefits. Are you committed to training your workforce?
Why not demonstrate your commitment and in doing so access financial support in meeting your training objectives.
By signing the Cogent Sector Skills Pledge you are indicating your commitment to training your workforce and in return you will receive the help in accessing, planning and funding your training needs.
Cogent has developed a Skills Pledge for your industry that reflects the skills challenges for science based industries more broadly. The Cogent Sector Skills Pledge is part of the Government’s wider Skills Pledge initiative that has already been signed companies representing over 4.7m employees.
The Cogent Skills Pledge has 3 elements
1. Commitment to train employees to world class standards
2. Accreditation of employee’s training including company training
3. Use of quality assured training providers
In simple terms Cogent is seeking a commitment (not a contractual obligation) from you to train and accredit your workforce using high quality, value-adding training.
 
Once you have signed the Pledge, Cogent and the Skills Academies for the Process and Nuclear Industries will support you in the process to develop a skilled, competent workforce.
Cogent has negotiated a Train to Gain Sector Compact with Government that clarifies the funding available via Train to Gain to support this Cogent sector industries.Click here for more on the Train to Gain Compact.
Importantly it is an upskilling journey towards world-class standards, it is not a race and there is no deadline by which organisations must fulfill their Skills Pledge.
