<p>The provision of high-quality technical education is key to improving social mobility,
and we want as many young people as possible to benefit from T Levels. The introduction
of T Levels will help raise the standard of technical education, so that it is seen
as equal in esteem to our world class academic route. The industry placement element
of T Levels helps to build students’ employability skills, developing their confidence
in the workplace and giving young people from all backgrounds a head start in accessing
skilled work. T Levels carry UCAS points in line with three A levels so will also
allow progression to higher education. We have also developed a T Level Transition
Programme, which is aimed at students who have potential to complete a T Level but
need extra support.</p><p>The first T Level providers are situated across the country
and we have ensured they are represented in opportunity areas. From this academic
year, Bury College and other providers in the wider Bury area began offering T Levels,
boosting access to high quality technical education for young people in the area.</p>
