Abstract	The overall aim of the study is to understand effective practice and lessons that can be learned from the approaches currently being adopted, particularly in relation to curriculum design and employer engagement, as well as the broader challenges facing University Technical Colleges (UTCs). More specifically the objectives of the research are to: (1) ascertain the use of project-based learning and employer engagement in the development and delivery of the curriculum within UTCs at Key Stage 4 and post-16; and (2) share the most effective practice and identify lessons learned, including areas that have been less successful, in order to inform future sector-wide practice. Key findings in this report include: (1) Employer engagement; (2) Perceived impact on young people; (3) Challenges; (4) What works well and advice for other UTCs; and (5) Next steps. The final report, will systematically draw together findings from phases one and two of this research,will share the most effective practice and will identify lessons learned in order to inform future sector-wide practice.
