From the Lincoln UTC
As president of Lincoln UTC, I feel honoured and inspired by the possibilities that lay ahead. In years 10 and 12, our pupils, who come from all over Lincolnshire, join us. They have a special chance to receive science and engineering training in the thrilling setting of actual industrial experiences. My aim is to make sure that each action and choice made at Lincoln UTC has their success鈥攂oth individually and collectively鈥攁t its core. We assist them as they establish the groundwork for an exciting educational journey that will result in exceptional accomplishments in the disciplines of science and engineering. Lincoln UTC alums are well-rounded, assured, and articulate. Academically, technically and practically experienced in science and engineering, they are comfortable working in industry and prepared for a lifelong journey of learning throughout their working careers. They strive to be the greatest in their chosen field by adhering to the highest standards of performance and attention to detail. Their ability to work effectively, both independently and as team members, and their innovative, creative and dynamic attitude towards working and learning, ensures that they are both highly employable and successful in obtaining places at universities or with employers of their choice. As they exit high school at 16 or 18, Lincoln UTC graduates are the best scientists and engineers their potential allows. I have no doubt that the information on our website will excite you and leave you with more unanswered questions. I encourage you to attend one of our many Open Days, events and activities so that you can meet our staff, ask questions and explore your future at Lincoln UTC.
