T Levels & work experience
T Level and Work Experience (WEX) placements offer businesses a fantastic opportunity to ‘try before you buy’, bringing enthusiastic learners into your organisation while giving your teams valuable support on real projects. These placements allow you to develop new skills within your workforce, strengthen your talent pipeline, and assess potential future employees in a low‑risk way.
Supported internships
Supported Internships provide an additional opportunity to welcome learners who may benefit from a more structured, hands‑on approach. They enable employers to make a meaningful impact while gaining extra capacity across day‑to‑day tasks and key initiatives.
Three options for student placements
Work Experience (WEX) students require only a small time commitment, with each full‑time learner needing 30 hours of placement to support their studies. These placements cover a wide range of subjects and can be matched to your business needs. Hosting a WEX student is a low‑risk way to connect with emerging talent, support local education, and showcase the career opportunities available within your sector.
There are no costs associated with hosting a WEX learner.
T Level students complete a two‑year programme that includes 45 days of industry placement each year. This typically equates to around one day per week, but scheduling is fully flexible, whether you prefer block placements, weekly attendance, or a tailored approach that fits your business operations.
By hosting a T Level student, employers gain early access to emerging talent, support workforce development, and help strengthen the future skills pipeline in their sector. Each student also works on a structured project designed around your business goals, ensuring the work they undertake is practical, valuable, and delivered under your full guidance.
There are no costs associated with hosting T Level learner. however, it’s recommended that employers offer some support with learner expenses, such as travel costs or a small allowance, to help remove barriers and ensure a positive experience for everyone.
We offer Supported Internships for students with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). Hosting a supported intern is a rewarding way to bring neurodiverse talent into your organisation and enhance diversity across your workforce.
A supported internship typically lasts 12 months, following the academic year. Interns attend the workplace 4 days a week for up to 5 hours per day, gaining real, hands‑on experience that prepares them for paid employment. Opportunities span a wide range of sectors, from animal care and hospitality to retail, horticulture, and more.
By offering a placement, you’ll help shape a young person’s future while gaining dedicated support and fresh perspectives within your business.
