At the heart of every T Level is the industry placement, which is a a fantastic opportunity to put classroom learning into real-world practice. These are developed in partnership with employers to meet current industry needs, these two-year courses reserve 20% of their time (at least 315 hours, or 45 days) for hands-on workplace experience.
To help you thrive, we embed core employability skills directly into the curriculum, from CV building and professional communication to interview preparation. When it comes to securing a placement, our dedicated Work Placement Co-ordinator, provides tailored support to ensure every student finds a high-quality role aligned with their personal career goals. While we are fortunate to work with a brilliant network of local employers who offer placements, we also fully encourage and guide students who wish to take the initiative to source their own placement with a specific company.
A T Level placement does far more than build confidence, it creates an impressive CV. Because employers dedicate real time and training to our students, placement roles frequently lead to part-time work or permanent job offers after completing the T Level or graduating from university. Furthermore, universities and degree apprenticeship providers actively seek out T Level students, knowing they already possess proven workplace experience and a realistic understanding of industry alongside their academic skills.
