UTC Swindon’s Year 13 students are celebrating this morning after their hard work gained examination results that will open the doors to a range of exciting industry apprenticeships, university degrees and degree courses.
The engineering and digital technologies University Technical College (UTC), offers three distinct pathways at Post 16: Technical, A Level and combination of the two in a unique workplace-style environment.
The results have secured students places on prestigious apprenticeships with companies such as Hitachi, Nationwide, Wiltshire Police and Network Rail. Students have also gained places on sought-after courses at universities including Bath, Southampton, UWE and Bucks, to name a few.
Principal of UTC Swindon, Jon Oliver, said: “I am delighted that UTC Swindon students continue to make excellent career progression after their time with us. This is a challenging time for young people, but the skills, qualifications and work readiness that our students experience, puts them at a considerable advantage for a highly technical career. Well done to all of you!”
Joanne Harper, CEO of Activate Learning Education Trust, said: “These are most unusual times and what is now important is to celebrate the achievements of all students and their next steps. Students will be progressing on to many varied destinations and we are enormously proud of each and every student and look forward to watching their careers develop over the coming years”.
UTC Swindon is offering information, advice and guidance to anyone who is unsure as to what to do next after their A Levels.
UTC Swindon is strongly focused on preparing students for their future careers, supporting them with everything from CV-writing and interview preparation to the day-to-day skills required to succeed in the workplace. This, combined with opportunities to work with the college’s industry partners, gives UTC students a distinct advantage when applying for apprenticeships, higher education courses and employment.
