UNLOCK POTENTIAL, GAIN TALENT: CONNECT WITH T-LEVEL INDUSTRIAL PLACEMENTS
T Levels are a new, 2-year Level 3 qualification for 16- to 19-year-olds.
Designed with employers, each T Level is equivalent to 3 A levels.
Students are required to complete an industry placement to gain practical skills and experience in a real work environment related to their chosen field of study. These placements are an essential part of the T-level program, allowing students to apply their learning in a practical setting and gain valuable insights into their chosen industry.
The placement is 315 hours (45 days), which includes 35 hours of workplace readiness delivered by the college.
Every T Level student must complete an industry placement that lasts a minimum of 315
hours (approximately 45 days). This is to provide young people the invaluable opportunity
to put their learning, knowledge and skills into practice in a real workplace environment.
Industry placements also give employers a unique opportunity to develop new talent and
help young people become work ready.
