This is a few months old but i've just read about Swindon’s £10m university technical college, which would be for 14 to 19-year-oldswho would access high-quality education and training, supported by a range of partners including local companies.



What a great initiative, has anyone been involved?

    I know it’s a little early to start promoting our events before they go to print, but our next seasons event schedule (Oct 13 - Jul 14) we have a joint presentation from the UTC presenters to be confirmed.

     

    A brief synopsis and a early heads up to all that are interested in what the UTC will offer potential students in and around Swindon and what parents can expect; “University Technical College (UTC) Swindon is an exciting new concept in education that aims to develop the engineering talent of the future. Scheduled to open in September 2014, the UTE will take students from age 14 to 19 and will focus on engineering and enterprise. Adopting a “hand and mind” approach, learners will follow a curriculum that is designed and led by local employers. UTC sponsors Johnson Matthey Fuel Cells and Oxford Brookes University will present the latest developments in this vital initiative.”

     

    To be presented Tuesday 14 January 2014 – this is to present to potential students and parents to what the UTC can offer.

     

    Please feel free to add this to your diary and spread the word – further announcements will be on our events page in due time.
