answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2018 answer text <p>We have put in place a range of measures to make sure that employers are supported to offer T Level industry placements. This includes the National Apprenticeships Service who will provide a dedicated and fully trained team of account managers to provide advice and support to employers, and broker links with local education providers delivering industry placements during the current academic year. Education providers are receiving capacity and delivery funding in 2018-19 and 2019-20 to support their work with employers to deliver industry placements. In academic year 2017/18, we ran a pilot to test potential models for industry placements and understand delivery challenges and how to overcome them. This ran with 21 post 16 providers and up to 2000 students were involved with over 1000 employers offering placements in the 2017/18 academic year. The department has recently published a suite of online guidance and materials based on the learnings from this pilot to assist both providers and employers in delivering placements. We are establishing this support well in advance of the first T Levels being delivered in 2020.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 14/09/2018 12:57:15 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2018 answer text <p>We ran a ten week consultation on our proposals for T levels, which closed on 8 February 2018. This involved an online survey and a series of events around the country. We received hundreds of comments at our events and 430 official responses to the online survey, including 55 from different employers and 86 from employer representative bodies/agencies. We reviewed all of these responses and published the official government response on 27 May 2018, which is available here: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/711472/Implementation_of_T_Level_programmes-Government_consultation_response.pdf" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/711472/Implementation_of_T_Level_programmes-Government_consultation_response.pdf</a>. A full list of respondents is included in Annex B, which can be found in the weblink above, though we have not published the names of organisations who wished to keep their submissions confidential.</p><p> </p><p>Employers have developed the outline content that will form the basis of new T Levels, through membership of the T Level panels. A list of the T level panel members of the first 16 panels that have been convened has been published and is available online here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/t-level-panels-membership" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/t-level-panels-membership</a>.</p><p>In addition to membership of the T Level panels, we have further consulted employers including BAM Nuttall, Kier, Busy Bees, Action for Children, Amazon, John Lewis and Deloitte on the first three T Levels that will be delivered in 2020.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 19/06/2018 16:46:22 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2018 answer text <p>Our plan is for a measured implementation of T levels, the most radical reform of post-16 education since the introduction of A Levels almost 70 years ago, which will transform the technical education landscape. On 27 May we announced the 52 colleges and other providers that have been selected to deliver the first three T Levels in 2020 and have since selected a further two providers.</p><p>Teaching is to begin in 2020 in the first three subjects in 54 providers. As providers are considering the outline content of the first T Levels and developing their own implementation plans, the number of potential learners for the first years of T Levels is still under consideration but is expected to grow over time.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 15/06/2018 17:26:28 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
