OUR PARTNERS

The UTC programme has a strong emphasis on employer engagement, including real-life project-based learning, which engages students and develops their personal attributes. On leaving our UTC, students have already established connections with local employers, have applied practical skills through project-based learning and are used to working in a professional environment.

Employers know what skills are needed in the local business environment, and teach the students accordingly. Companies from a range of sectors, from the forces, to automotive to science and engineering, work with students in a range of ways – lessons, projects, workshops and challenges days for example – to develop our young people to be work ready. 

This makes them highly employable and sets them up for a broad choice of pathways at 18 – whether that’s going to university, higher and degree apprenticeships, or directly into a career. The impressive track record of student destinations after leaving UTCs is testament to the quality of this distinctive educational experience.
