Nurture new talent, discover new ideas and give your business a boost with a T Level placement
What is a T Level?
T Levels are new, 2-year Level 3 qualifications for 16- to 19-year-olds.
Designed in conjunction with employers, each T Level is equivalent to 3 A Levels and helps young people develop the knowledge, attitude and practical skills to progress into skilled employment, an apprenticeship or further study.
What sectors are T Levels available in?
At Stoke on Trent College we will be offering the following T Level subjects from September 2024:
- Business Management and Administration
- Education and Childcare
- Health – Care of Children and Young People
- Health – Adult Nursing
- Health – Midwifery
- Design, Surveying & Planning for Construction
- Building Services for Construction – Plumbing and Heating Engineering
- Onsite Construction – Bricklaying
- Onsite Construction – Carpentry and Joinery
- Building Services for Construction – Electrotechnical Engineering
- Design and Development for Engineering and Manufacturing

Why is the industry placement important?
Every T Level student must complete an industry placement that lasts a minimum of 315 hours (approximately 45 days). This is to provide young people the invaluable opportunity to put their learning, knowledge and skills into practice in a real workplace environment. Industry placements also give employers a unique opportunity to develop new talent and help young people become work ready.
This can be split over a number of weeks/months to suit the needs of your business.
