T-level placements

T-level placements

T-levels are a 2-year, full-time college programme with an industrial placement giving real-world experience in your chosen industry.

They're equivalent to 3 A-levels, designed for 16 to 19 year olds and developed in collaboration with businesses and employers to ensure the curriculum meets real workplace industry needs.

Industry placements are a key part of your T-level qualification, giving you the opportunity to develop your technical skills and apply what you’ve learnt in real work situations and working environment.

We have a range of industry placements available. Placements are a minimum of 315 hours (about 45 days) and can be arranged flexibly - whether as a block placement, one day a week, or whatever works best for you and the council.

Although these placements are unpaid, they offer a fantastic opportunity to support your skills development and understand the world of work when applying for future job roles or progressing into a higher-level apprenticeship after your course. 

We will also make sure you complete your placement with an employer reference to use for future interviews.

These opportunities are only available to those already on T-level programmes.
