Destinations Evening

‘‘The UTC model recognises that every young person needs

different things from their education. They’re interested in

different things and we need an education system that really

caters for that. The UTC provides a very different offer for the

pupils here, which they would otherwise not have been able to

get.’’

‘‘We’ve made some great steps forward on our academic route

over the last six years, but this is about diversity and choice.

UTCs are about providing an option for the many young people

who want to pursue a route in their education that’s more

technical in nature, and UTCs can be a big part of how we do

that.”

Justine Greening MP

Secretary of State for Education

What is the UTC model?

Building our Industrial Strategy

The government has released the Building our Industrial Strategy

Green Paper, reaffirming this commitment to apprenticeships and

creating “a proper system of technical education”

New plans outlined by the government include:

Establishing a new Institutes of Technology to deliver high quality

STEM provision and meet local employer demands.

Increasing the quality of STEM (science, technology engineering and

maths) provision.

Creating 15 “technical routes”, as above, which match the needs of

the labour market, available for 16-19 year olds as two-year courses.

Reviewing careers advice in schools and publishing a “comprehensive

strategy later this year for careers information, advice and

guidance”.
