As the Executive Principal of UTC Reading and
UTC Swindon, I find that it is important to build balance into your day.
At UTC Reading and
UTC Swindon, more than 50 percent of our students go on to apprenticeships, many with our industry partners.
In recognition of the fact that students begin making vital decisions about their career paths at an early stage, we're beginning to welcome increasing engagement from businesses with schools - certainly this is the philosophy at
UTC Swindon — to work in partnership with industry.
Here at
UTC Swindon, we work closely with employers and industry to understand the skills that young people will need for careers that may span 50 years or more.
At
UTC Swindon we are finding that there is a lot of interest from companies in the digital sector who are keen to work with students to help open their eyes to the opportunities in the digital space and want to partner with us to achieve this.
