Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
A Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), is a 3-way collaboration between a business, a skilled graduate (known as a KTP Associate) and a university to deliver a strategic, transformational innovation project in a business. KTP projects are part-funded by substantial government grants of up to 75% of the project's cost depending on the size of the business involved.
KTPs improve company competitiveness, productivity, performance and profitability by tapping into the knowledge, skills and expertise in UK universities and research organisations. The programme represents an extremely cost-effective means of introducing new skills into your workplace to resolve an ongoing challenge or issue.
