What is the South Yorkshire Institute of Technology (SYIoT)?

Launched in September 2023, Institute of Technologies are partnerships of employers and education providers. As one of only 21 IoTs nationally, the South Yorkshire IoT's aim is to ensure they have people with the skills and knowledge in the region that meets employer’s needs, now and into the future.

Backed by £290 million government investment nationally in state-of-the-art technology, each Institute of Technology (IoT) focuses on one or more specialisms. SYIoT provides high-quality training and qualifications in:

  • engineering and manufacturing
  • construction and the built environment
  • digital
  • healthcare sciences
  • science
  • communications and media

IoTs aim to fill immediate skills gaps while also building a pipeline of talent for the future. With employers as core partners and members of their governing body, they are committed to meeting future skills needs and supporting technological innovation to drive economic growth in our region.

Who are the SYIOT Education partners?

The education partners include:

Specialising in Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs), professional training and higher apprenticeships, the investment in facilities and cutting-edge equipment is focused on widening opportunities in higher education. The courses and qualifications on offer, including bite-size programmes, ensure that individuals should be able to access higher education to enable them to enter or re-enter employment, or upskill to support their progression within employment.

What courses will be available at UC Sheffield?

Whether you’re a learner looking to succeed in a high demand, rewarding career, or an employer looking for a flexible way to upskill your workforce, this is the place to start.

Our courses are designed and delivered with local and national employers. This gives students of all ages and backgrounds the relevant experience they need to stand out in the job market and provides employers with the reassurance that the training their staff receive can be applied to their business.

From September 2024 we'll be offering HTQs in engineering, quantity surveying, constrcution management and health and social care.
