Find information and resources for the 4 skills campaigns currently running for employers, adults and young people

Young people, Skills for Life: Get the Jump campaign

The 'Get the Jump' Skills for Life campaign brings together information about all the education and training choices that are available to young people at post-16 and post-18 years of age, to help them make an informed decision about their next step.

The campaign spotlights technical education routes, which have lower levels of awareness, such as T Levels, apprenticeships and higher technical qualifications.

This toolkit provides materials which you can use to spread the word about choices for young people and to signpost them to where they can find out more.

If you have any questions about the campaign, or can share details of a young person who is on, or has taken, one of the education or training routes and might like to feature in the campaign, please contact GetTheJump.stakeholders@education.gov.uk.

Employers, Skills for Life: Join the Skills Revolution campaign

Join the Skills Revolution campaign aims to increase small and medium-sized enterprises' (SME) awareness of a range of government programmes including apprenticeships, T Level industry placements and Multiply numeracy courses.

The campaign encourages employers who are considering hiring employees, offering work experience or upskilling existing staff to sign up to these programmes.

Our campaign webpage features an overview of the full range of government training and employment schemes employers might be interested in.

Get involved

Support us in spreading the word about government training and employment schemes for business by downloading and sharing the materials below with your SME contacts.

We're also looking for images and case studies of apprentices and T Level industry placement students to use throughout the campaign. Pass on our photography brief below and your SME contacts could feature in our national campaign!

T Levels were designed with leading businesses and are now supported by employers of all sizes to give students the workplace skills they need to succeed.

Hundreds of employers - including Lloyds Banking Group, Nestlé, Yorkshire Water, Persimmon Homes and NHS Trusts across England - have hosted T Level students on industry placements.

Many employers retain T Level students on completion of their course and support progression within their business onto an apprenticeship or into another role.

Introduction

T Levels are two-year, technical qualifications designed with businesses and employers to give students the skills that industry need. They are equivalent in size to 3 A levels and are for 16-19 year old learners after completing their GCSE's.

They are based on occupational standards and provide a mixture of technical knowledge and skills specific to a chosen industry and an industry placement of at least 45 days.

These T Level Progression Profiles show the range of opportunities available following completion of a T Level, which include employment, apprenticeships, and higher and further education (such as degree and Higher Technical Qualifications options).

How we develop progression profiles

IfATE has worked with employers, providers and industry experts to identify the range of progression options available following completion of a T Level, aligned with our occupational maps. This includes mapping content that is common to each T Level and its associated occupational standards. The Department for Education has also been working with higher education providers to identify options for progression into higher education.

The mapping indicates which areas may still need further development before full competence is reached in that occupation and whether a learner may be able to complete an apprenticeship in a reduced timeframe due to the application of recognised prior learning (RPL). This will be determined by an initial assessment of the learner. Additional information indicating the areas for further development has been included below to support this initial assessment.

The profiles will evolve as T Levels and occupational standards are updated and as we continue to engage with employers, providers and industry experts.

It is important to note that while the profiles indicate some of the pathways that are available, many other opportunities will be available. The national careers service website has information on each career option and on how to speak to a careers adviser.
