Employers, why partner with an IoT?

Are you looking to fill your skills gaps, attract the next generation of talent, diversify your workforce, innovate within your business, or make a difference within your local community?

Rooted in the region, South East Institute of Technology (SEIoT) can help you fill your immediate skills gaps while building a pipeline of talent for the future that will help your business and the local community thrive.

Employers are at the heart of the SEIoT as core partners and members of our governing body. The courses offered are designed and delivered with employers like you, so you can be confident that the training your staff receive – and the expertise of our student recruits – can be applied to your business immediately.

Beyond training and recruitment, the SEIoT can also help your organisation innovate. Partner with us and gain fresh insight into immediate business challenges by setting live projects for our students to work on, access state-of-the-art equipment and research facilities, and network with our other like-minded employer partners.

Backed by £290 million in government investment, Institutes of Technology (IoTs) are innovating and expanding in all directions with technologies you may not have seen before. Now is the time to jump on board.
