UTC READING has been given an award for high standards in careers provisions for the third time.

The college has been awarded the Gold Level accolade in the national Quality in Careers Standard, having previously held the award twice before.

The award comes after the institution was subject to inspection in January, with a report commending it in recognition of the “quality and breadth of [their] careers provision.”

UTC Reading provides STEM-centred learning for students aged 14-19, specialising in computer science and engineering, and is rated Outstanding by Ofsted.

Among the aspects singled out for praise was the college’s stable careers program which links job prospects and curricular learning, as well as encounters with employers, further education institutions, and guidance staff.

The report explained: “Learners are positively engaged with the learning pathway they have chosen and enthusiastic about what they are learning about themselves and the world of work.

“They are supported to make successful transitions within the college and to make their next steps into further learning or work.”

It continues: “‘The opportunity for them [students] to acquire a range of professional qualifications, including Microsoft ones, is much appreciated by the learners and illustrates the college’s commitment to preparing their learners for working life.

“Learners are also very positive about the ethos of the environment and how it better resembles a workplace than other places they are familiar with.”

Assistant Head of School Stephanie Mitchell said: “We are delighted to have achieved this award for the third time, demonstrating the continued excellence in the careers provision at UTC Reading.

“Our employer engagement programme has always been something we have been proud of, but to get an award is a great achievement to really showcase this.

“The opportunities that our students get to really excel in their careers is amazing to watch over the years, whether that be progressing to university, an apprenticeship or employment.”

She explained: “The career journey starts when our students’ walk through the door, helping to prepare them with the skills, knowledge and attributes for the world of work and bridging the gap between industry and education.”
