Cogent and Skills Academy merge
17 Feb 2015
Sector skills group Cogent is merging with the National Skills Academy Process Industries (NSAPI) and the Technical Apprenticeship Service (TAS) to form Cogent Skills.
All support previously delivered by Cogent Sector Skills Council, NSAPI and TAS will now be handled via Cogent Skills.
Integrating our existing brands together is a customer-focussed decision
Cogent CEO Joanna Woolf
This includes all skills-related issues, technical apprenticeships and placement services and process safety management courses.
Cogent chief executive officer Joanna Woolf said: “Cogent Skills will be the new brand for all parts of the Cogent Group. Integrating our existing brands together is a customer-focussed decision.
“Our main driver is to ensure that we both represent and support companies right across the breadth of the science industries and make it easy for them to engage with us.”
However, the National Skills Academy Nuclear, which represents skills issues within the UK nuclear sector, will remain independent.
