Working with Industry
UTC Swindon prides itself on its employer engagement and careers provision which enriches the school curriculum and helps to transform the lives of our young people.
Our students are proud of the destinations they go onto after leaving UTC Swindon, and this is thanks to the relationships and support from our industry partners.
We work with a network of local industry partners to design a learning programme which covers not only the core curriculum of English, Maths, and Sciences, but also sought-after technical qualifications taught by specialist staff with industry standard equipment.
Can you help us transform lives through learning?

EMPLOYER ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
- Work placements – these can range from a single one-week placement for an individual student, to placements for teams of students that work on a project for an extended period. This also provides the employer with the opportunity to identify potential recruits.
- Challenges – these can be run for a single day, to a whole term. The employer is tasked with writing a brief relevant to the skills and abilities of the student cohort. The employer works with a teacher to define the project scope, before producing a brief that enables the students to work in teams to create a solution to the challenge.
- Curriculum projects – very similar to the challenge concept, the curriculum project is linked to the learning pathway of a class (or classes) of students.
- Mentoring – employer representatives can support our structured mentoring programme aiding students in development in better understanding the working world, and what they need to do to prepare for a career.
- Employability skills – running employability skills workshops and programmes. This can take the form of CV workshops, interview techniques, mock assessments, and team working exercises.
