Baker Dearing advances and informs high-quality, employer-led technical education and supports its delivery through England’s 44-strong programme of University Technical Colleges..
Baker Dearing was established solely to advance the technically oriented education of young people and adults, in the belief that first-class technical pathways, combined with a core academic offer, designed with employers opens up more opportunities for young people in their careers.
Baker Dearing works with UTCs, major employers, political leaders from all sides, and the wider education sector to deliver the best outcomes for young people and expand their access to high-quality, employer-led technical education, supporting England’s 44 University Technical Colleges as the best means for improving young people’s access to technical education.
Over the past 15 years, Baker Dearing has designed and implemented a movement of technical high schools called University Technical Colleges (“UTCs”) across England.
Almost 50,000 young lives have now benefited from a UTC’s career-focused education since the first UTC opened in 2010.
