T-Levels Launching at Bury College in 2021
- T-Levels combine classroom theory with practical learning and a work placement.
- The work placement will be for a duration of 45 days and will give young people a great insight into the working environment.
- T-Levels are two year courses and are equivalent to three A-levels.
T-Levels have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses to meet the needs of different industries and to ensure that individuals have the skills and knowledge to progress directly into industry.
The 45 day work experience placement will give individuals the opportunity to gain the technical training needed to progress directly into industry.
Bury College will be delivering T-Levels across the following pathways:
- Construction
- Digital
- Education and Childcare
- Health and Science
Work Experience Placement Pilot Scheme
In preparation for the delivery of T Level qualifications, Bury College has been running a pilot scheme with support from the Department for Education and working closely with local employers to offer 45 day work experience placements to students:
“The business strongly believes in inspiring the younger generation and believed it was a great opportunity to offer a 45 day placement to an aspiring engineer. This placement benefitted the student by allowing them to develop new skills in an industry setting and increase their confidence. We look forward to working with Bury College in the future.”
Gary McClung, Managing Director of Hopefield Fabrication Ltd, gave a Bury College Mechanical Engineering student a placement opportunity to develop advanced engineering skills.
