Employer T Levels
Highly skilled, work-ready students are here to build your business and create opportunities for your organisation.
Industry placements are already helping employers go further forward, faster.

Why have T-Levels been created?
T Levels give young people the skills and knowledge they need to get a head start towards their future career and support organisations like yours by combing both study and work experience with a real employer on an industry placement. Industry placements are already helping employers and their businesses go further. T Levels have been designed with the best employers to make sure students have the skills and knowledge you need and you’ll receive support with planning at every stage of the process from us.
What is an industry placement?
A student is invited to work with you for around 45 days or the equivalent of 315 hours, developing skills and building confidence. Placement times can be arranged to fit in with your needs and are an integral part of T Levels, a new 2-year qualification which is equivalent to 3 A Levels, that brings classroom and work together.
How will this benefit my organisation?
- Help nurture and develop talent
- Cost effective recruitment for entry level jobs and apprenticeships
- Bring in people with imaginative new ideas and different skills
- Upskill your staff with the chance to mentor a young person
