Supporting Technical Skills Development in Lincolnshire
The Institutes of Technology (IOT) have been formed across England to enhance the career and employment chances of young people and adults.
The programmes that have been created at the institutes have been designed in collaboration with employers, colleges, and universities to ensure students are work-ready and to offer clear career progression.
At the Lincolnshire Institute of Technology, our aim is to develop the talent and skills to drive exciting new age industries and play a role in enabling a dynamic, technology-driven economy. We have a range of Level 4, 5 and 6 coures covering three IOT pathways - Automotive Engineering, Digital Technologies, and Electrical Engineering.
