Knowledge transfer partnerships (KTP)

As active participants in the government-backed KTP scheme, Sheffield Hallam University can help you access our knowledge to tackle a particular business problem or challenge.

Together we will recruit a recent graduate, known as a KTP Associate, to run an up to three year project in your organisation, fully supported by a specialist University academic.

All partnerships are partly funded by the government - and already over 100 companies have found that this was an investment well worth making. Businesses and organisations of all sizes in most industries and commercial sectors can take part.

The traditional model of working is for KTPs to run from one to three years, with the aim of tackling the strategic needs of your organisation.

Types of projects that we can help you carry out include

  • developing new products
  • streamlining a manufacturing process
  • systems development
  • business re-engineering
