We help people reach their potential through better education
The Knowledge Innovation Centre, in short KIC, pronounced K [kei:] I [ai:] C [si:], is a social enterprise disguised as a consultancy.
We are a group of people working to improve education to fit future needs.
The KIC started as a group of enthusiastic student union members. Today, we’re a leading consultancy in education, skills, and employment.
The expertise and services we provide help to create long-term value for clients, people, and society. They contribute to building trust in education.
We are a key innovation catalyst for education and knowledge. Our goal is to be the ‚go-to‘ organisation for innovation in education.
At our core, we focus on bridging education and employment. We combine consultancy expertise, research, and agency creativity to create tailored solutions.
With this approach, we support public authorities, educational organisations, and international institutions.
Our well-known domain expertise lies in bridging education, skills, and employment. We have excellent knowledge of EU funding opportunities and programmes.
Collaborating with partners in education, business, government organisations, and NGOs, we have built a strong project portfolio.
At KIC, our people are the heart of our company.
We’re a close-knit team of passionate of experts, researchers and communicators who are dedicated to collaboration, continuous learning, and a shared commitment to making a real difference in the world.
Our ideas, our work, and our passion are what make KIC tick. We are pushing boundaries to deliver exceptional results for you, our clients and partners.
We succeed and fail together.
Values are the heart and soul of any organisation, and at KIC, we live and breathe ours. They’re not empty words, but the driving force behind our decisions, actions, and relationships.
Our values shape our unique culture, guide our strategic choices, and fuel our success. They’re the essence of who we are as an enterprise.
Our ideas, our work, and our passion are what make KIC tick. We’re team players building strong, interdisciplinary, and international teams. We succeed and fail together.
We treat everyone with respect. We foster a positive work environment and well-being. We have fun and don’t take ourselves too seriously. We embrace playfulness in work and learning, and share joy and positivity.
We always on the lookout for fresh ideas and better ways of doing things. We don’t accept “we’ve always done it this way”. We always ask “What’s Next?”. We’re creative and resourceful, and that’s how we bring innovative solutions to the table. We’re all about positive disruption and keeping up with what you need.
We seek out new ways to use tech to achieve more, multiply impact, communicate globally, and explore new ideas. We stand on the shoulders of giants: We remix and apply great ideas, giving credit where due, develop simple solutions to manage complexity, and build for reuse.
We set big goals and we ask ourselves “why?” We make sure everything we do is legal and above board. We follow a strong moral compass and always do what’s right. If we’re ever unsure, we ask ourselves, “Would we be proud to tell our families about this?” Integrity sets us free because we’ve got nothing to hide.
We know trust is a big deal, so we take good care of it. We’re all about open, honest, lasting relationships. We share ideas and communicate openly. We help partners, clients, and colleagues liberally. That’s how we build trust and a solid reputation for ourselves and for you.
We don’t just work for the sake of it. We prioritise needs over wants. We look beyond the surface to understand the “why” and make it better. We’re here to make a real difference for you, for society, and for everyone we work with. We aim high, make bold choices, and deliver top-notch solutions. We’re open, transparent, and socially responsible in everything we do.
Things don’t always go to plan, but that’s okay. There ARE stupid questions. There ARE dumb mistakes. KIC is a safe space and we‘re not afraid to experiment. We face mistakes head-on and use them to improve. We don’t make them twice. We’re always learning from each other, from you, and from the best experts out there. We learn so we can grow and get better at what we do.
