Invest in your future workforce: Support the next generation through T Level placements

Wiltshire College & University Centre is calling on local employers to help shape the workforce of tomorrow by offering industry placements to T Level students – and there’ s never been a better time to get involved.
T Levels are two-year qualifications for 16 to 19-yearolds that combine classroom learning with a 45-day industry placement. They’ re designed with employers to ensure students develop the skills your business needs – giving them hands-on experience and giving employers a chance to inspire and invest in new talent.“ T Levels allow employers to play an active role in developing future skills,” says Ann Simpson, Work Placement Team Leader at the College.“ They can also enhance a company’ s reputation as one that supports and nurtures the next generation.” Wiltshire College & University Centre provides full support to employers throughout the placement process – helping you find the right student for your organisation and keeping admin to a minimum. Most placements are unpaid and typically covered under existing Employer Liability Insurance.
T Level students are currently training in areas such as:
• Engineering and manufacturing
• Health and healthcare sciences
• Digital and cyber security
• Agriculture and animal management
• Business, accounting and management
• Education and early years
Whether you’ re a small business, a growing local firm, or a national employer with a Wiltshire base, there’ s a flexible way to get involved. Offering a placement is more than a short-term contribution – it’ s an investment in your future workforce and a powerful way to tackle skills gaps in your sector. It also helps keep young talent rooted in the region, strengthening our economy for the long-term.
