Employer Support Package 2

Tender description

T Levels are at the heart of the drive to improve Technical Education. Every 16-19 year old student undertaking a T Level will be entitled to a high quality industry placement. While many employers understand apprenticeships and work experience, they are less certain about T Level Industry placements – what they entail, and how to work with students and providers to structure an appropriate placement. We need to ensure that employers are well informed and well-disposed to offer placements in the uncertain period as we emerge from the covid19 pandemic building on previous employer support package work in this area. Lot 1: This procurement competition will put in place a new programme of support building on the success of the previous model and will involve: - raising awareness of T levels and industry placement among employers, including targeting specific routes that are proving particularly problematic. - providing the department with intelligence on employer behaviour and employment patterns - updating existing guidance including with new materials where appropriate and identifying any new guidance that might be needed. - delivering online webinars which can be recorded and accessed at any time; - providing a dedicated response team Additional information: The market engagement event will be held 1st June 2021 at 13:00 and can be accessed using the following link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/t-levels-employer-support-package-market-engagement-event-tickets-155844502101
