This trend aligns with the key premise of UTCs, which is to work hand in hand with local businesses to provide students with a direct route into employment. These partnerships ensure that students are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to forge successful careers, and employers are investing in the future workforce by offering apprenticeships that provide real-world experience and growth opportunities."

Mr Semmelroth continued, "It’s important to recognise the incredible accomplishments of students like Fyn, Alfie, and Jemi, who have not only excelled academically but are also poised to contribute significantly to their chosen fields. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours and are confident that they will continue to make us proud."
