UTC learners will be supported in developing personal qualities and leadership skills essential for the world of work, with plenty of opportunities to demonstrate leadership, initiative, determination, confidence and responsibility - all recorded in their UTC Cambridge Passport to Success.

UTC Cambridge Passport to Success

The UTC, in collaboration with sponsors, will develop a “Passport to Success” that goes beyond qualifications and clearly identifies the most important skills, behaviours and attitudes that will lead to successful progression and employment. Learners will be encouraged and supported to achieve these standards throughout their time at the UTC.

Employers will endorse these Passports to Success, thus confirming that the learner has met their preferred employee threshold and adding their company logo to the final document.

Skilled

The UTC will provide opportunities for learners to:

• be inspired to achieve outstanding skill levels and to become world class
• have their skills recognised through appropriate qualifications valued by HE and employers

• display high levels of professional standards in their chosen curriculum pathway
