<p>Data on experiences of the workplace is captured by the Careers and Enterprise
Company and the latest findings are based on a national dataset of 4534 state-funded
secondary schools and colleges which can be found at: <a href="https://www.careersandenterprise.co.uk/our-evidence/evidence-and-reports/insight-briefing-gatsby-benchmark-results-2022-2023/"

the 2022/23 academic year, over 90% of further education colleges reported that most
of their students had experience of a workplace by the time they finished their programme
of study.</p><p>In post-16 education, pupils have access to work placement opportunities
through the T level programme. T levels are designed to equip students for skilled
employment, whilst also providing a high-quality route to further study, including
apprenticeships, higher technical education and degree level study. The programme
includes a T level industry placement where students spend a minimum of 315 hours
(approximately 45 days) working with external employers. Since T levels were first
introduced in 2020, 98.6% of the 2020 cohort and 94.9% of the 2021 cohort have completed
their industry placement. This is a total of 4250 students who have successfully completed
their industry placements.</p><p> </p>
