The Importance of Design & Technology andEngineering in the Lifelong Learning Sector1.
Design and Technology encourages pupils to consider design problems (usually the problems other people face).

The Importance of Design & Technology andEngineering in the Lifelong Learning Sector4. Working as a team to solve design problems and to manufacture is the key to success in Design and Technology and also in industry, business and commerce.
One thing that employers say again and again is that school leavers often lack the necessary skills to be ready for industry straight out of school or college. I believe that D+T is a fantastic way for students to learn how to successfully work as part of a team to complete a project in a particular time-scale

The Importance of Design & Technology andEngineering in the Lifelong Learning Sector8. Pupils learn to consider people with individual needs.
As part of a D+T brief the students need to consider the functionality of the product and the target “market”. This allows students to look at other peoples needs and to adapt the design to suit them. This gives students a greater understanding of the wider environment.

The Importance of Design & Technology andEngineering in the Lifelong Learning Sector15. Design and Technology directly supports manufacturing industry by providing this sector of the economy with capable technologists.
There is currently a shortage of capable technologists and engineers in the UK. If more students take up the subject in the LLS sector it would ease the shortage.
