Today sees the start of T-Levels week! Have you heard of T-Levels? T-Levels are an alternative to A-Levels – equivalent to 3 A-Levels, and focus on vocational skills to help bridge the gap between education and employment.  How does Suffolk County Council get involved? Each T-Level course includes an industry placement – this typically lasts for at least 45 days.  Suffolk County Council can provide the industry placement for T-Level courses – providing valuable experience in the workplace and offering our staff the opportunity to get to meet new talent in their industries.  If you are a school/college that currently offers T-Levels, please feel free to get in contact with us to explore how we can support your students via Rising.High@suffolk.gov.uk. Keep an eye out throughout the week for more on our T-Level placements. For more information on T-Levels visit: T Levels | The Next Level Qualification - https://lnkd.in/dxvEajT
