Why study through the Yorkshire & Humber Institute of Technology (YHIoT)? The Yorkshire & Humber Institute of Technology (YHIoT), of which York College is a central key partner, is a partnership between regional colleges, universities and businesses. The YHIoT delivers distinctive higher-level skills courses, at Levels 3, 4 and 5. The courses relate to the specialist subject areas of the YHIoT which are Digital, Engineering/Manufacturing, Construction and Agri-Tech. The YHIoT curriculum provides higher-level technical courses in a local college setting. This can either be as an alternative to doing a full 3-year degree at a university or as a stage on the path to gaining a full degree. What makes the YHIoT courses unique is the direct input by industry so that the skills learnt are relevant and needed by the industries the subject areas serve. The YHIoT received significant levels of local employer support in the digital and engineering sectors including Skipton Building Society, VISR VR Ltd and Taylors of Harrogate. Under the YHIoT, students will get access to the most up to date equipment supporting a cutting-edge industry led curriculum. The YHIoT has brought circa £10million of capital funding into the region, with York College investing in industry standard equipment to support the delivery of higher-level technical training in digital, engineering and construction. This massive training boost will enhance employment opportunities and ensure highly qualified individuals for the region’s employers.
