Our annual Progression Week took place from 2-6 March, offering our Year 10 and Year 12 students the chance to think ahead to plans after their time at UTC Portsmouth. Students had the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities such as mock interviews, an Employer Partner Careers Fair and talks from industry speakers.
As a college we are very focused on developing skills with our students that will enable them to access the future career of their choice. This week of activity offered both challenge and inspiration with the aim that students will get a greater understanding of the skills and tools they will need to be truly equipped for life beyond college.
Our Employer Partners were all very impressed with our students, commenting on their maturity, great questions and ability to speak with confidence about themselves and their experiences.
