t level placements
Did you Know?
Taking on a student for work experience can offer valuable benefits to your business. These students come equipped with industry-related knowledge gained through their vocational studies, and they can provide valuable support on a range of projects and tasks.
They often bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, offering approaches you may not have previously considered, as well as social media skills that can contribute to tangible business growth. Furthermore, managing and mentoring a work experience student can provide an excellent development opportunity for your staff, particularly those interested in taking on a supervisory role in the future.
Work experience placements are a fantastic way to strengthen your connection to the next generation of talent. We organise placements for students across a variety of subject areas.

How do T Levels differ from apprenticeships or work experience ?
Apprenticeships offer hands-on training for young individuals eager to enter the workforce. Apprentices divide their time between 80% paid work and 20% classroom learning, gaining valuable skills while earning. T Levels, on the other hand, are designed for young people who wish to pursue further education while gaining practical work experience through a meaningful industry placement. T Level students also undergo employability training, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to meet workplace demands and expectations before starting their placement.
