I was very pleased to be back at Swindon UTC with Lord Baker, the man who, together with Lord Dearing, set up the Baker Dearing Trust, to create the network of technical colleges that we now have across the country. UTC is an excellent college that encourages and develops the growth of skills, which leads to degree apprenticeships, jobs, and the new economy of tomorrow.
Set up around ten years ago, The UTC has really taken flight in the last few years, under inspiring leadership. It was great to see the students so infused and learning about new technology together and developing the future skills of tomorrow.
