Babcock International, the defence infrastructure giant, has sold a sizeable portion of its training business in a “portfolio alignment programme” which completed yesterday.
Its end point assessment business, Babcock Assessment Limited, is also “under review”.
The firm announced in September that it had sold parts of its civil training division, which includes thousands of apprenticeships, to investment firm Inspirit Capital but it will retain contracts close to its “core business”.
Babcock International held apprenticeships and training contracts through subsidiary companies including Babcock Training Limited and Babcock Skills Development and Training Limited. Both were graded ‘good’ by Ofsted in the last year.
