WMG Academy for Young Engineers is a University Technical College in the Canley area of Coventry, England. The college opened in 2014 on a site adjacent to The Westwood Academy.
With a 'Business-like, Business-led' ethos, the academy is built around core values of knowledge, skills and employability. The curriculum is taught through interactive learning in the school's £13.5 million resources, including a state-of-the-art Engineering Hall containing tools and machines like CNC routers, plasma cutters, lathes and milling machines as well as a welding centre.
The WMG Academy trust has two academies: the first opened in Coventry in September 2014, and the second at Solihull in September 2016. The trust's board is chaired by former CEO of Rover and RM John Leighfield, and the executive leadership consists of Kate Tague (Executive Principal), Matthew Brady (Associate Principal Coventry) and Stewart Tait (Associate Principal Solihull).
The UTC's sponsors include the Warwick Manufacturing Group at the University of Warwick, and the major local employer Jaguar Land Rover, together with local firms such as OLEO Savery and Automotive Insulations, and national companies including Bosch and National Grid.
