NORTHWOOD-based University Technical College Heathrow and partners have picked up a third global award in 12 months.

This time, it was for Education and Employment Project Award of the Year at the Datacloud Global Awards in Monaco.

The award, presented to UTC Heathrow for the second year running, recognises an initiative in which 10 employers work with the college on an exclusive digital curriculum.

Aimed at those aged 14-19, the programme is looking to tackle an industry skills shortage. 

UTC Heathrow and partners launched the Digital Futures Programme in 2021.
