City College Norwich are currently looking for companies related to the space and aeronautical industry to get involved with our T-Level engineering work placements.
T-Levels are two-year Level 3 qualifications, equivalent to three A-Levels. Students must achieve a pass in both English and Maths at GCSE level to be considered for the course, as it is academically rigorous. They are typically aged between 16 and 19. A core part of the T-Level involves completing an industry placement, which requires learners to attend a relevant workplace one day per week (block placements are also available over college holiday periods). Student hours need to total a minimum of 315 hours – however this time can be spread out across multiple companies and different work-related activities.
To clarify, this is not an apprenticeship, so there is no requirement to pay the student. However, it’s a great opportunity to gain extra support in your business and potentially identify future talent — a real chance to ‘try before you buy’. Many of our employer partners have gone on to offer full-time roles to their placement students after the course ends, although there is no obligation to do so if it doesn’t work out or you are unable to accommodate them long term.
In addition to work placements, there are also opportunities for employers to deliver talks or classroom activities to help students gain deeper insight into the industry.
We offer a range of Engineering T-Levels, including:
