Industry placements introduced by the Department of Education

Industry placements have been introduced by the Department of Education to give students on technical courses the chance to put into practice the knowledge and technical skills they have learnt. These technical courses are known as T Levels. In essence the core elements of the T-Level placement are that the position students are given needs to be meaningful, to allow them to apply the theoretical knowledge they have gained in the classroom into a place of work and vice versa. The placement should allow the students planned and unplanned opportunities to grow their skills and take part in new situations through a range of activities and tasks in the areas that the organisation is able to accommodate them in. The minimum hours that the students need to achieve over the two years of the course is 315 – with no maximum limit. Support will be given to the employers from the College and your main point of contact would be myself, to liaise with in relation to gaining further details about the placement requirements, processes etc. https://employers.tlevels.gov.uk/hc/en-gb/categories/4403442821650-About-T-Levels-and-industry-placements https://employers.tlevels.gov.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/4403450083346 https://employers.tlevels.gov.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/4403450099090 https://employers.tlevels.gov.uk/hc/en-gb/categories/4403442822418-During-industry-placements
