Skills intelligence for training

Identify skill gaps. Match training. Prove impact.

Workforce needs are changing faster than teams can adapt. Cadra brings training providers and employers together to close the gap with evidence, not guesswork.

Why Cadra exists

Solving the skills crisis, together.

The skills, training and AI adoption crisis won't be solved by providers or employers alone. Cadra exists to bring them together, turning training from a cost to defend into an investment the business backs at boardroom level.

No more training for training's sake.

Cadra addresses the key questions training has never been able to:

At the start

What are the most important areas to address? Is this training aimed squarely at what matters most to the business?

At the end

What impact did it have? What was actually achieved: time saved, costs avoided, revenue generated?

What Cadra is

The skills intelligence platform for evidence-led training

Cadra analyses workforce capability, surfaces training needs by department, and builds a data-backed business case that both providers and employers can act on, all in one shared workspace.

Build business cases from your own data

Build a complete picture of capability: where the gaps are, which departments are most affected, and who is ready. That becomes a live, filterable business case, specific to each department and formatted for exec sign-off.

Calculate impact of training

Once training lands, Cadra measures what changed: hours recovered, costs avoided and capability gained, reported against the original business case so the return is proven rather than asserted.

Complete with AI efficiency

One shared workspace where the provider and the employer work together, with AI and automation handling the sequence: employer briefings, sign-off, onboarding and before-and-after impact.

How it works

From assessment to proven impact

One shared workspace, six connected stages. The evidence carries through from first survey to final report.

1

Assessment

Run employee and leadership surveys from one shared workspace to pinpoint the best use of the apprenticeship levy.

2

Analysis

Generate a quantified skills-gap matrix that identifies where training will deliver the greatest business impact.

3

Business case

Turn the audit into an exec-ready proposal that balances capacity needs, budget and long-term business impact.

4

Sign-off

Turn board approval into a structured commitment covering scope, scale, timelines and employer responsibilities.

5

Onboarding

Move from approval to active learning in weeks, with leadership briefings, learner onboarding and resources.

6

Impact

Measure impact with before-and-after reporting on completion, engagement and performance, building the case for what's next.

Provider & client collaboration

A shared workspace, used by both sides together

01

Every training decision is backed by evidence from the employer's own workforce.

02

Clients champion the case internally, because the data is theirs.

03

Approved programmes keep their momentum, carried by structure through to impact.
