Industry Placements and Work Experience

Our industry placements form an integral part of the T Level programmes. They have been designed to give students a valuable opportunity to put their learning into practice, develop excellent skills and to become truly employable in an industry field related to their qualification. Students will carry out around 315 hours of industry placement, equivalent to around 45 full days at work.

Recognising the value of work experience in supporting students to develop their workplace skills and expand their career opportunities, all of our qualifications will include an element of work experience. This includes all vocational and first year A Level students, which gives them the opportunity to gain an insight into their future career and possible higher education routes that can support them.

The Careers and Work placement team will work with students to share ideas of placements and the various tools available to support their search. Our Careers Hub team have a great deal of knowledge about local employers and will be able to support students through this process.
