Funding secured for South Yorkshire IoT
Educators and employers from South Yorkshire have secured over £12m to establish a new South Yorkshire Institute of Technology (IoT).
The Department for Education (DfE) made the announcement as part of the second wave of IoT bids to have funding confirmed by the government.
The University of Sheffield AMRC Training Centre is part of a collaboration that won the bid. AMRC Training Centre director Nikki Jones said: “This is fantastic news and the University of Sheffield AMRC Training Centre is very proud to be working in true collaboration with other South Yorkshire educators and employers to help address some of the skills shortages in our region.

“This is about a new and exciting curriculum, driven by employers, that will develop the pipeline of talent businesses need to thrive and prosper in the region, and will give people better opportunities to develop and grow into better-paid, highly skilled careers.”
The South Yorkshire IoT joins further education institutions, higher education institutions and local employers to provide routes from STEM based T-Levels to Higher Technical Qualifications, apprenticeships, and degrees. The IoT will also offer flexible courses for adults looking to reskill or upskill.
