Strategic Skills Projects


Cogent has developed nine strategic projects aimed at ensuring that employers of all sizes across its footprint have the skilled and qualified people they need to compete.

This programme of work is designed to meet the immediate and medium term skills needs of employers. Through the Cogent Sector Skills Agreement  (SSA) employers have told us that they have real skills shortages in:

  • innovation and business improvement techniques;
  • change and project management;
  • health and safety;
  • management and leadership.

The SSA has also confirmed that with an ageing workforce demand for new recruits during the next ten years will be high, and employers will need to look beyond the traditional pool of candidates to find the talented people they need.
