A new apprenticeship for Process Industry Manufacturing Technicians and an updated standard for Science Manufacturing Technicians have been approved, following extensive development and design work by a trailblazer group of industry professionals and facilitated by Cogent Skills.
The industrial manufacturing sector faces a serious challenge in the UK. Companies currently have 72,000 unfilled vacancies and this – combined with an ageing workforce set to result in a significant number of expected retirements over the next five years – means employers of all sizes need to take action.
Natalie Webster was one of the first cohort of apprentices supported by Cogent Skills in 2012.
In 2021, the government introduced Flexi-Job Apprenticeships – these are designed to ensure those sectors and occupations where short-term contracts or other non-standard employment models are the norm can access the benefits of apprenticeships.
They are available to employers and apprentices in two ways: with or without a Flexi-Job Apprenticeship Agency (FJAA).
All Cogent Skills learners are able to access online and telephone support through Health Assured
In light of the current challenging labour market conditions, we welcome any move to increase access to skills and encourage people back to work.
