Here at KingsRock Construction, we are proud to support the T Levels scheme, a fantastic programme that provides practical industry experience to young people as an alternative to A Levels and apprenticeships.
What is a T Level?
T Levels are a new post-GCSE qualification equivalent to three A Levels. They offer students an alternative route to A Levels, apprenticeships, and other courses for 16-19-year-olds.
This fantastic programme combines classroom learning with practical workplace experience. Students spend 80% of their time learning vocational skills in an educational environment and 20% completing an industry placement with a local employer. As part of their T Levels, students dedicate one day a week (or 316 hours per year) to industry placements while continuing their studies at college.
Upon completion, T Levels can lead to skilled employment, higher education, or apprenticeships, providing young people with a strong foundation for their future careers. Some students even go on to pursue degree apprenticeships, training with employers while studying part-time at university.
We believe T Levels are an excellent way for students to gain practical, hands-on experience that gives them a real insight into the workplace and sets them up for success.
