How Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) Work

For Business

KTPs develop innovative new products, services and strategies, give your company a significant competitive advantage, and test-run a potential new employee.
KTPs work like this:

  1. You have a project in mind that could help your business, be it developing new products and marketing strategies, or improving management processes.
  2. You want government funding, an outstanding graduate working for you at a cost-effective rate, an experienced academic, and access to the resources of one of the largest Business Schools in the East of England in order to achieve your potential.
  3. You contact us to tell us about your project.
  4. We advertise your project to hundreds of graduates and recruit an academic from the Business School.
  5. You take part in choosing the graduate who's perfect for you. The graduate will be based at the company but employed by the Business School.
  6. Your company, the graduate, and an experienced academic work together on your project and improve your business's processes and profitability.
