Our founding members

Skills Symphony was founded by world-class learning organisations, keen to offer a comprehensive range of learning and skills services across both the public and private sectors.

The strength of Skills Symphony lies in its diversity, with its founding members ranging from small, specialist training organisations through to some of the world’s most reputable business schools and academic institutions.
