We work closely with our employment partners to design and develop education provision in STEM subjects, including high quality apprenticeships, training and higher level education. 

 

Our mission is to provide local employers with the skilled workforce that they need, so our employment partners help us to create a curriculum that is not only bespoke to their job roles, but also meets broader sector needs. 

 

Our focus is on STEM industries such as agriculture, digital, engineering & construction and horticulture & animal care, but we also offer courses in other areas including transport, creative, manufacturing, automotive and food & drink. So by working with businesses in these sectors, we ensure our offer meets employers’ needs. 

 

 

When working with us, employers have the power to shape the minds of the future by contributing to course development and ensuring students receive training that’s aligned with their business needs. 

 

Then, when it comes to hiring from the new talent pool, employers have peace of mind that Yorkshire & Humber Institute of Technology qualified students will add value to their organisation and have qualifications including: 

 

 

Many businesses in the region face challenges when it comes to recruiting highly skilled workers, particularly in areas like operational efficiency, complex problem-solving, digital skills, advanced IT and technical expertise. 

 

The rapid pace of technological change adds to this pressure, as businesses must constantly invest in new technology and ensure their workforce is equipped to make the most of these innovations. 

 

When partnering with us, we enable businesses to express their evolving needs, which allows us to continually adapt our programs to meet the latest demands. This ensures that businesses have access to a pipeline of ‘industry-ready’ talent who have the skills they need to thrive and stay ahead of technological advancements. 

 

 

There isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach to working with us - we collaborate with employers on an individual basis to develop a working relationship that will help us both achieve our goals. 

 

With this in mind, employers can get involved at a level that suits the time, commitment and requirements they have. This could include: 

 

 

Whether it’s individual entrepreneurs, SMEs or national and international organisations with a regional presence, our industry-experienced professionals can help employers to access a new talent pool. 

 

Together, we can ensure that we are providing a strong STEM skills foundation to support business growth and meet the aspiration for the region to be leading technological advancement.
