UTC South Durham is recruiting now for entry into Years 10 and 12 in September 2016 when it opens. Parents and students can find out more at the UTC’s Open Days on 14 and 17 October 2015 at the Xcel Centre, Aycliffe Business Park. Further information about the application process and the open days is available on www.utcsouthdurham.org.
Tom Dower, Principal Designate of UTC South Durham, said:  “I understand parents’ worry about their children finding a job when they leave education. UTC South Durham, like other UTCs around the country, will prepare young people for the workplace.
But the UTC is about more than just finding a job. It’s about making sure that young people understand the wide range of roles, types of organisation and sectors available to them and are making informed choices about their future.
“Our students will leave us confident in their abilities and knowledgeable about what companies are looking for. The UTC is about building the skills which employers want and making sure that our students find great careers that are right for them.”
