As part of the T Level panels, employers are at the heart of the programme and they play a key role in developing the outline content for the new programmes. We have also provided £5 million to the National Apprenticeship Service, who have widened their remit to offer an advice and support service for employers. This includes raising awareness and promoting the benefits of T Levels and industry placements to employers, including those that may not be actively engaged in education and training activities.<\/p>
As we move closer to delivery in 2020, we will increase the scale and pace of our communications with providers and employers to raise awareness of T Levels and how they fit in with other post-16 choices.<\/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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1523", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anne Milton"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Guildford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anne Milton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-09-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-09-14T12:57:15.75Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-09-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "T-levels"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he is taking to support employers to provide placements for T-level students.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4637", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Frith"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bury North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "James Frith"} ], "uin" : "170872"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/922468", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/922468/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Once T Levels are fully rolled out there will be over £500 million additional funding per year for their delivery. This extra funding will pay for extended industry placements and the additional taught hours that will be needed for T Levels. Nearly £60 million of this funding has already been allocated to providers to help them build capacity for the improved industry placements that will form part of the new T Levels. The funding also includes up to £20 million to help teachers and leaders prepare for the implementation of T Levels. We are currently considering how best to provide this support, and information we gather from the data collection launched on 25 May will help to inform this.<\/p>
We are confident that T Levels will provide a substantial boost to national productivity and the life chances of many thousands of young people. As we introduce the technical education routes, we will explore value for money in a number of ways, including through commissioning an evaluation of the new routes and monitoring performance and destination data.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1523", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anne Milton"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Guildford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anne Milton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-06-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-06-20T14:59:02.08Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-06-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "T-levels: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what additional resources he has allocated to ensure the introduction of T levels by 2020; and what steps is he taking to ensure the value for money of the introduction of T levels.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4637", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Frith"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bury North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "James Frith"} ], "uin" : "152840"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/922469", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/922469/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Our Pacesetter project was established in 2017 with the aim of working with selected partners to test our policy approaches, and gain better understanding of the experiences of disabled apprentices. We work with organisations and individuals who have proven experience and success in this area, and can help us identify initiatives which work and can be scaled up, with a view to delivering tangible progress towards growing numbers of apprentices from this group. Pacesetters include local authorities, employment organisations, a special school and the learning disability charity Mencap.<\/p>
<\/p>
As part of department's annual Apprenticeship Evaluation Surveys, information is routinely collected about the experiences and satisfaction levels of apprentices that identify as having a disability.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Further Education Learner and Apprentices survey, which samples approximately 6,500 apprentices, collects detailed demographic and social mobility data along with information on barriers to learning.<\/p>
<\/p>
To inform our new funding policy, published in May 2018, we commissioned the Learning and Work Institute to interview providers, employers and third party organisations providing additional support to apprentices with a range of disabilities- selected for their experience working with this group.
