East Riding became part of a consortium of colleges in the region to develop the Yorkshire & Humber Institute of Technology in 2019, now one of twenty one Institutes of Technology across the country designed to increase higher level technical skills for employers. The Yorkshire & Humber Institute of Technology brought investment of around £10 million of capital funding into the region for partners to invest in industry standard equipment to provide higher level technical training. This critical training boost continues to enhance employment opportunities and provides highly qualified employees for the regions’ employers.
