KITS is one of the largest and leading employer–led engineering Group Training Organisations in the UK. Established in 1991, they have developed from an organisation that was purely seen as a recruiter of engineering craft apprentices and a means of maximising levy/grant returns to an organisation that is Employer Responsive, meeting company needs for both training and services in Human Resource development, Health and Safety, Quality and Standards in a wider range of industries. An impending change in Apprenticeship funding and delivery has resulted in the identification of this role.
