Careers & Futures

Welcome to our careers and FUTURES area…

Careers and Futures take centre stage at UTC Reading. Through our vision of transforming lives through learning, our students will be well prepared for the world of work and their future. We have designed a bespoke programme of learning focused on careers and futures for each year group that provides our students with a range of opportunities to engage with employers and specialist trainers to really enhance their skills, knowledge and attributes in preparation for adult life.

In this section you will find all of the information that relates to our careers and futures programme at UTC Reading including key contacts, useful documentation for parents, students, employers and teachers. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like further information.
