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.
What are the benefits for employers?
