UTC Reading

Earlier this week, lucky year 12 students had the chance to visit Data Centre World at the Excel Centre. Part of the Tech Show, this event gives our students the chance to explore careers in the digital infrastructure industry.

Supported by mentors from the industry, they spent the day working on careers and curriculum tasks, getting 1:1 coaching and making connections in this fast growing industry. Some left with opportunities for work experience or ideas for apprenticeships, but all left with polished employability skills.

We're really proud of how they represented their school, and to see so many of them buzzing with excitement for their future careers.

Only a few days to go until one of our highlight trips of the year: a day of discovery, one to one coaching and a lot of fun at the biggest event in the digital infrastructure industry calendar, hosted at the Excel Centre in London.

Students have applied to attend, completed a tricky training course and will spend the day exploring career opportunities, finding real-world applications of their academic learning and benefiting from coaching from industry experts.

We can't wait!

It's week and we're celebrating what makes UTC Reading special:

☑️ excellence in engineering and digital
☑️ project-based learning
☑️ regular, impactful interaction with employers
☑️ tech-focused education and excellent careers support
