After reaching a landmark funding agreement towards the end of last year and recently appointing Jesse Norman as Chair of NMITE’s Board, Hereford’s New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering (NMITE) prepares itself for a pivotal year in innovation and partnerships.
Since its inception NMITE has worked closely with employers to integrate industry expertise throughout their curriculum through applied real-world challenges and have seen evidential success in their approach with almost 100% of their first graduating cohort securing impressive positions within the workplace.
To ensure the continued success of the model and consistent alignment with industry, NMITE have formalised their Terms of Reference with their strategic Partnerships Advisory Group (PAG) who help guide the institutions aims within higher education, as well as contributing to NMITE’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) offerings from both its developing Centre for Innovation and Future Skills (CIFS) and Centre for Advanced Timber Technology (CATT).
NMITE’s centres currently offer a range of UKSPF-funded short courses ranging from timber design to leadership. Places are free for those living or working within Herefordshire. The CIFS Innovation support programme also offers valuable support and guidance to businesses.
NMITE will be hosting their Future of Work conference on 5th June and their Military to Business Careers event on 19th June. Businesses interested in partnerships or attending these events are encouraged to get in touch.
