Employer Testimonials

We’ve been working with MK College Group as an anchor partner since 2019 – giving its staff and learners access to our experts. When the College Group founded the SCIoT, we were keen to get involved – especially with the conversation around ethical applications of AI. Having a pipeline of future talent is going to be key to making the UK an AI superpower. And education providers like MK College Group, working in partnership with industry, are going to be key to that.

The College invited us in to have a tour of the IoT and sit in on one of the lectures. We were blown away by what we saw. The energy and the environment were amazing. They have created a live working environment, where students can make mistakes and learn in a collaborative way, which is in line with our values.
