Get Involved
Institutes of Technology (IoTs) were established by the Government to ensure businesses get the skills and talent they need to thrive, while supporting individuals with their careers. With local employers including Siemens, Hitachi, Dell, MOOG and St Modwen as core partners and members of our governing bodies, we are committed to identifying future skills needs and supporting technological innovation to drive economic growth, both locally and nationally.
We are proud to be working in collaboration with so many local businesses. Employer engagement is critical to the design, delivery and strategic direction of our Institute.
