Cogent Skills is a charity with one clear mission: to help businesses in the UK’s science, technology, and manufacturing sectors attract, recruit and manage the people they need to thrive.
Strategic Workforce Support
Cogent Skills works with businesses to identify what skills are needed, how roles are changing with new technologies, and where future gaps could appear. This kind of future-focused workforce strategy ensures your businesses stays competitive, continues to grow, and remain firmly rooted in your science park community.
Flexible Talent Solutions, Without the Hiring Hassle
As a Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agency, we provide government-backed employment services that make it simple and low-risk to bring new talent into businesses.
We specialise in apprentices, graduates, and early-career talent – the future leaders of organisations. Whether they need support with recruitment only or prefer us to take on full employment responsibility, we’ve got businesses covered. That includes HR, payroll, and training, with all legal and compliance obligations managed by Cogent Skills.
By removing the risks of direct employment, we give businesses:
- Reduced liability – we are the legal employer, ensuring compliance.
- Financial flexibility – fixed, transparent costs without long-term commitments.
- Continuity and protection – if circumstances change, we redeploy talent rather than leaving businesses and candidates exposed.
The result? Access to bright, motivated people without the employment complications. It’s cost-effective, low-risk, and ensures every candidate receives consistent development and support.
