How does a KTP work?
A KTP can help you enhance your career prospects by providing you with an opportunity to manage a challenging project central to a company's strategic development and long term growth.

Through your KTP project, you play a key role in managing and implementing strategic development in the company and transferring knowledge between the business and the knowledge base. KTP Associates own their project and are supported by experienced staff from the company and the knowledge base. Typical challenges you could encounter as a KTP Associate, depending on your qualifications, include designing and introducing new or improved products or processes, re-organising production facilities, introducing improved quality systems and technology, or developing and implementing marketing strategies to break into new markets.

The project lasts for a period of between 12 and 36 months with approximately 70% of Associates offered employment by the host company.
