Everon UK has formalised its partnership with EKC Ashford College by signing a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This agreement reinforces their shared commitment to giving students the opportunity to understand more about how assistive technology contributes to helping people to live independently and positively.
EKC delivers high-quality training, learning, and employment opportunities for students across Kent. As a European business with a UK base in Kent, Everon is keen to support local educational facilities by providing specialist guidance and mentoring using its experience of developing and implementing digital care services.
Peter Kerly, Vice President of Group Sales and Marketing at Everon UK commented; “The Everon team is really pleased to be sponsoring the College with the intention of introducing students to the assisted living technology sector, and the ways this can help us to support our ageing population more effectively.
“It’s an industry that is really exciting, and is going through tremendous change as it harnesses the potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning to turn data into insights and interventions to help people live well for longer.
“We’re looking forward to encouraging and supporting students to explore care technology, and are excited to be working with the College over the next year.”
EKC Ashford College Principal Lucy Clark added: “It was excellent to welcome Peter from Everon UK to our EKC Ashford College to celebrate this new partnership.
“His visit allowed us to show him the Everon UK display we have in one of our classrooms, and to highlight our vibrant learning environment.
“Today marks the first step in this exciting new partnership, and we cannot wait to see how it continues to flourish over the next year and support our students to unlock new opportunities and career paths.”
