How can KTP help my business?
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships involve the forming of a partnership between your company (the company partner) and the academic institute (knowledge base partner), enabling you to access skills and expertise to help your company develop. Each partnership employs one or more high calibre Associate (recent graduate) to facilitate this transfer of skills and expertise. The Associate works within your company on a project central to your needs and is jointly supervised by company personnel and a senior academic.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships provide resources and expertise to thriving organisations that wish to innovate, expand or improve their performance.
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships can help your company:
- Access highly qualified people to spearhead new projects
- Develop innovative solutions to help your business grow
- Access experts who can help take your business forward
- Develop your business for today’s market
