Education giant City & Guilds has acquired its third training provider.
Trade Skills 4U, which delivers electrical engineering training including through skills bootcamps and apprenticeships, has joined from private equity firm Palatine for an undisclosed fee.
It becomes the third training provider to join City & Guilds. Intertrain, a large provider for the railway industry, was acquired in 2019 after Gen2, which claims to be the largest training provider to the UK civil nuclear industry, joined in May 2017.
Andy Moss, managing director at City & Guilds said investing in Trade Skills 4U “further strengthens our training delivery offer by extending our reach in the electrical engineering market”.
