Please find below an update from the DfE re. T Level industry placements.

We wanted to share with you today’s announcement on T Level industry placements. It outlines additional support, guidance and flexibilities to help employers and providers deliver high quality industry placements and includes:

• new guidance setting out the key roles and responsibilities for providers and employers around industry placements, including a guide for students to help them prepare for their placement
• additional delivery models for industry placements in the Construction and Engineering & Manufacturing routes, to reflect modern practices
• modified delivery targets for Capacity and Delivery Fund placements to reflect the impact of the coronavirus on employers
• extension of both the Employer Support Fund pilot and the Employer Support Package also in response to Covid-19
• With the first T Levels launching in September, these measures will help ensure that T Level students starting this year and in subsequent years can access high quality placements that will support their future careers and deliver real benefits to the businesses hosting them.
