Throughout the KTP, you will be fully supported and mentored to nurture your talent. You will have your own budget of £2,000 pa for training and CPD, helping you develop your skillset and reach your personal and professional career goals.
UoN is committed to providing competitive employment packages whilst supporting the well-being of its staff to help them reach their full potential.
