We're pleased to share this exciting opportunity from Exeter College, which is seeking employers to work with 2nd year students from January 2021- July 2021, on 'T-Levels' - the next level qualification.
What are they?
An Industry Placement (IP) is a long-term and meaningful on-the-job experience which specifically correlates with a student’s field of study and their career objectives.
What makes T Levels different?
T Levels have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses and will provide the skills and knowledge needed to progress to highly skilled employment, university level study or Apprenticeship.
All T Levels will include an industry placement with an employer so that students can apply their learning in a real workplace environment. Around 80% of time will be spent in the classroom with the remaining 20% being spent on placement. This differs to an Apprenticeship, which is typically 80% on-the-job and 20% in
the classroom and more suited to those who feel ready to enter the workforce at 16.
Who do these apply to?
2nd Year students studying towards Level 3 Extended Diploma in a whole range of subjects (see employer information sheet below).
