Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs)
KTPs can help your business improve competitiveness and productivity with the use of technology and skills through a knowledge-based partnership.

It provides a structured approach, bringing a recent graduate or research organisation to the company to provide a dedicated resource on a key strategic issue. Find out more details about KTPs at the University of Leeds.
