Industry placements form a mandatory part of our T-Level qualification. The placement would last a minimum of 315 hours, or approximately 45 days, structured in a way that would be amenable to both you as a supportive employer and the academy. By completing the placement, learners will receive meaningful, hands on real-life experiences in the world of work and the understanding needed to gain the skills needed in the profession.
The aim of the industrial placement is to provide learners enough time to be effective within the business and for them to learn in-depth the skills necessary to be a good employee. Each employer is different and so we want to work together with you to find the right learner(s) for your organisation. This may be fulfilled in a variety of ways such as assessment, applications, interviews or a combination.
