We are pleased to invite you to our official launch of Doncaster University Technical College’s event to the Doncaster business community.
In September 2018, Doncaster UTC gained approval from the Department for Education to open in Doncaster’s town centre in September 2020. Doncaster UTC will be a distinctive school led by employers to provide an innovative and engaging learning environment and unique learning experience. The UTC will deliver a core curriculum based around STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects, with an opportunity for learners to specialise across four defined pathways; rail, digital design, construction & infrastructure and advanced manufacturing.
We want you to be part of this exciting new school from the beginning so you can be a part of shaping its development. Your future employees will attend the UTC; by working with us now you will become an integral part of ensuring industry is within the DNA of Doncaster University Technical College’s curriculum.
