PARTNER WITH US

WORKING WITH YOU TO UNLOCK OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND OUR STUDENTS

Our partners are vital in offering the opportunities our students need to succeed.
Designed with employers, T Levels combine classroom theory with hands-on practical learning and a three-month industry placement with employers. This means that students choosing to study a T Level are equipped with real-life experience of the workplace before they leave in Year 13. Having these opportunities early helps students to make an informed choice for the next steps in their early career journey.
Whether you’re a small business or a large corporation, there’s a place for partnership working that benefits your business, the community and our students.
We have secured industry placements and T Level support from a range of employers and businesses, including Amazon, Fulham Football Foundation, Mayors Fund for London - Access Aspirations and Cisco.

We warmly invite you to collaborate with us to further expand our current offer to students and prepare them for the world of work. This may be through:

Employability sessions

Industry placements to use their technical skills in a real-life setting

These are immersive experiences where students spend time in a job at your workplace, applying what they’ve learned in the classroom and continuing their skills development.
Industry placements typically last 45 days and provide students with invaluable insights into your sector.

Not sure if you can commit to the full 45 days?

Give students a taste of what it’s like to work in your industry. A week-long taster can ignite their passion and help them make informed career choices.
As long as you are committed to providing a safe, supportive, environment we can find ways for you to get involved

Office tours to give them a sense of what life after studying could look like or workshops to introduce them to the skills needed to thrive.

Share your expertise by hosting workshops or inviting students to your facilities. It’s a chance to showcase your business and inspire young minds.

Mock interviews

Get them interview ready and help them to refine their soft skills using industry approved techniques

Projects

Collaborate with our students on actual projects. They’ll gain practical experience, and you’ll benefit from fresh perspectives.

Connect with students

If you’re keen to work as a partner, we’ll match you to suitable students that want to work with your business. And, we’ll work with you to complete any paperwork that is required as simply as possible.

This is your chance to see first-hand the enthusiasm and desire our students have to work with employers in their chosen subjects.
