A substantial, high-quality industry placement will be an essential part of each T level giving students the chance to put into practice the technical skills they have learned in the classroom.<\/ins><\/p> Training and qualifications within the technical education routes are being designed and developed by employers - so that students can be confident they are getting the skills that employers need.<\/ins><\/p> The reformed technical routes will ensure we unlock all the talents of young people across the country, no matter where they come from, and support them into strong, rewarding jobs and careers.<\/ins><\/p> <\/p> The government\u2019s position is clear; the public sector pay cap is no longer in place and we have adopted a more flexible approach to public sector pay.
