What is Lincolnshire Institute of Technology?
Posted on 15th April 2024 at 10:45
Lincolnshire Institute of Technology (or LIoT, as we’re commonly known as) is a partnership between a group of educational institutions. Our purpose is to provide an exciting range of STEM-related qualifications, experiences and resources to the people of Lincolnshire and help people to access these.
Our aim is to support Greater Lincolnshire in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) industries, making it a better place to learn, recruit, work, invest and innovate. To do this, we’ve formed a partnership with these fantastic education providers, located all across the county:
As an Institute of Technology (IoT), we’re also part of a wider group of IoTs that have been established by the Department of Education (DfE), to be leaders in the provision of high-quality, higher-level education and training across STEM occupations.
A little bit more about IoTs
Located all across England, Institutes of Technology (IoTs) are a national network of experienced education providers and leading employers. These providers and employers work together, facilitated by IoTs, to deliver world-class technical education and training within STEM subjects.
Backed by £290 million of government investment, each IoT focuses on specialisms to suit their location, with the aim to fill more immediate skills gaps while building a pipeline of talent for the future. Supported by the DfE, each IoT receives guidance to ensure the successful delivery of these programmes.
While IoTs offer high-quality education across a range of courses - such as T-Levels and Bachelor’s Degrees - we specialise in newly formed Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) - and you can find out all about these in our next article.
How can I get involved with LIoT?
If you’ve decided that STEM is the route for you, then we’d love to help you to develop your career! Once you’ve decided what you’d like to specialise in, we’d recommend taking a look at our partners’ websites to find out more about what they have to offer.
