What's in store for their future?

T Levels (years 10 and 11):

If your teen’s in Year 11, they’ll be thinking about what to do in sixth form, whether that’s staying at school or going to college. If they enjoy focusing on real-life situations rather than theory, then T Levels could be the right choice for them.

T Levels are a sixth form qualification developed with employers and businesses to meet industry needs as well as preparing students for working life. One T Level is equivalent to three A levels and the course lasts for two years. T Levels involve a mix of classroom learning (about 80% of the course time) and practical experience (about 20% of the course time) including a 45 day on-the-job placement in a genuine business. Afterwards, students may go on to university, alternative higher education, another job, an apprenticeship or they may be offered an opportunity with the company where they were placed.

T Levels can open many doors, so find out more about what your teen could study at T Level and where that could lead in The Parents’ Guide to T Levels.

I wanted to let you know that a recording of last week’s special TV programme from the Department for Education launching the new Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers is now available:

The 2-hour live programme featured a wealth of information about the country’s leading apprenticeship employers, case studies & employer showcases, and interviews with apprentices – all which may be helpful resources to share with your colleagues, Sixth Form students, pupils considering their post-16 options and their parents.

To help you access the different parts of the programme, these are some of the main highlights:

• an exclusive behind-the-scenes film of apprentices who worked on the BBC’s election night coverage

• specially-commissioned films of engineering apprentices working at Pendennis Shipyard in Cornwall, apprentices training to become paramedics at the North West Ambulance Service, and school-leaver apprentices in training at top London hair salon Daniel Galvin

• countdowns of new Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers, numbers 1-10, 11-25, 26-50, 51-75 and 76-100

• discussions with apprenticeship employers Cross Country Trains & Leeds City Council and apprentices from Babcock International & Specsavers

• studio interviews with Baroness Jacqui Smith, Minister for Skills, Apprenticeships & Higher Education; Kate Ridley-Moy, Director of Apprenticeships, Department for Education; and Jennifer Coupland, Chief Executive of the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education

The programme was presented by Martin Birchall, High Fliers Research and Chanise Evans, a former apprentice & presenter at the BBC.

I do hope the programme – and the information and research it includes about apprenticeship programmes at the nation's top employers – will be of interest to you and your students.
