The Organisation
The organisation is the charity that established and continues to support the national network of 44 employer-led technical schools, known as University Technical Colleges (UTCs).

Working closely with UTCs, schools, employers, membership organisations and other strategic partners, the Project Manager will plan, coordinate and deliver a range of projects and activities that bring together education and industry to create meaningful opportunities for students, teachers and employers.
The role combines strategic coordination with hands-on project delivery, managing activities from initial planning and stakeholder engagement through to implementation, evaluation and reporting.
You will design and deliver programmes that support young people's skills development, strengthen employer engagement and enhance collaboration across the UTC network and wider education sector.
You will use strong organisational skills, evidence and feedback to monitor progress, demonstrate impact and continually improve project delivery.
