Flexible Apprenticeships Empowering Careers and Industry growth

Via Cogent Skills, the registered Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agency for Life sciences, industrial sciences, nuclear energy and defence

Delivering tailored and scalable talent solutions

Cogent Skills is a registered Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agency (FJAA), recruiting and employing apprentices and placing them with host employers for the duration of their apprenticeship.

This model provides a flexible approach to apprenticeship employment, enabling employers to access and develop apprentice talent while reducing administrative complexity and employment responsibilities.

Previously known as Apprenticeship Training Agencies (ATAs), Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agencies help more employers access apprenticeships by reducing administrative burden and employment risk, while ensuring apprentices benefit from continuity of employment and a structured development programme.

What is included in cogent skills' FJAA Service

  • End-to-end recruitment to end of contract, including preparing job descriptions, screening and shortlisting candidates, arranging interviews and providing feedback.
  • Cogent Skills employs the apprentice on your behalf, issuing contracts and assuming responsibility for regulatory compliance, eligibility requirements, payroll and associated employment risk.
  • Working with the host employer and training provider to develop a training plan aligned to the job role and your organisation.
  • Liaising with training providers and managing all financial transactions through our Apprenticeship Service account.
  • Pastoral support, mentoring and coaching for apprentices through our dedicated Skills Account Managers, helping reduce the day-to-day management burden on host employers.
  • Information and guidance to employers on maximising the value of their apprenticeship levy.
