We are pleased to announce that the APPG for T Levels has been officially re-constituted - with Sam Rushworth MP confirmed as our new Chair earlier this week. We look forward to providing a forum for interested stakeholders and to promote the value of T Levels in collaboration with industry. With plenty of exciting announcements in the pipeline, be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming events.

We are extremely proud to share the excellent achievements of the first cohort of T Levels completers, following statistics released by the Department for Education: 🔵 Almost all are in education or employment, with 44% pursuing a university degree, 40% engaged in paid work, and 13% embarking on an apprenticeship journey. 🔵 Destination paths varied by T Level route, showcasing tailored opportunities. For instance, Education and Childcare learners predominantly pursue paid work or degree study, while Construction learners often transition into paid work or apprenticeships. 🔵 Impressively, nearly three-quarters of apprenticeship-bound T Level completers advanced to Higher or Degree apprenticeships, highlighting the programme's effectiveness in fostering progression. We were also delighted to hear that students were enjoying their studies, showing how T Levels can foster a positive learning environment whilst upskilling our future generations. 🚀 Over a quarter of T Level completers in paid work or an apprenticeship reported that they had continued working for the organisation that provided their T Level industry placement. 🚀 Three-quarters of T Level completers had remained in the general field of their T Level, including the majority of those who were currently studying. Over half of learners had remained within their T Level occupational specialism.

On behalf of Christian Wakeford MP and Jane Hunt MP, the All- Party Parliamentary Group on T Levels is delighted to invite you to our upcoming meeting: "Introducing New Demographics to T Levels." 🗓️ Date: 19th March 🕒 Time: 14:00 to 15:00 📍 Venue: 1 Parliament Street, Westminster, SW1A 2JR and via Zoom T Levels are set to expand to their offer to cover an ever-wider range of subjects and occupations. Subjects such as animal management and cyber security have the potential to attract a new cohort of students who may not have engaged with the qualification before. This session will look at how T Levels, old and new, can attract underrepresented people and particularly young women to take up these qualifications and, how employers can retain them after completing their courses. 🔗 Confirm your attendance using the following link: https://lnkd.in/ec2Meb2Y Join us for interesting discussion into the transformative potential T Levels offer to students and how we can ensure they reach as many people as possible.
