UTCs
Is your child hands-on and passionate about real-world skills? Do they thrive when learning by doing? If traditional schooling isn't igniting their spark, or if the pressure of a broad, academic curriculum feels overwhelming, a University Technical College (UTC) could be the perfect fit.
UTCs offer a specialised, career-focused education from Year 10 onwards, combining academic study with practical, technical training. Imagine your child building robots, designing sustainable technologies, or working with cutting-edge engineering equipment!
Why consider a UTC?
- Specialised Learning: Focus on subjects your child is passionate about, linked to real-world industries.
- Practical Skills: Gain hands-on experience and develop valuable technical abilities.
- Industry Connections: Work with leading employers and build valuable contacts.
- Clear Career Pathways: Prepare for exciting careers in engineering, technology, health and social care and more.
Transitions to a UTC are possible at the end of Year 8, Year 9, and Year 11. Planning early ensures your child can make the most of this unique opportunity.
