Work-ready, resilient employees who require less training.
Today’s employer is looking for tomorrow’s innovation: UTCs provide an excellent opportunity for students to be prepared for that challenge, so that they can join employers such as Siemens as skilled technicians or as university graduates with a more informed understanding of business and industry in the vital fields of science and engineering.
Royal Navy
The Royal Navy estimates a total salary saving of more than £100,000 over four years made possible by accelerating the training of a UTC leaver from six years down to two.
BAE Systems
BAE Systems believes that UTC students bring a range of skills and experience that will enable the company to offer them a shorter apprenticeship. This could represent a total saving of around £33,000 per apprentice.
What our supporters say...
Given the importance of science and engineering to our economy, and the potential skills shortage in these areas, the idea of a school like this is obvious and yet it takes someone to actually do it. That is the genius of the place, that someone has got the concept up-and-running and that they are delivering the curriculum in partnership with organisations such as the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
Over half of the roles in the Royal Navy are engineering. That’s why it’s great that UTCs provide an exciting environment for students to learn all aspects of engineering. We are privileged to be supporting young engineers. We need to encourage this area of expertise. If we do not get this right, we sink and we are not protecting the country. Engineering is our future and young people are our future.
