uin	107477
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>On 11 October, we published a T level Action Plan. This makes it clear that T levels will be offered at Level 3, will have the prestige of A levels and will form part of a clear and high quality technical option which supports progression to employment and higher levels of study. In line with Lord Sainsbury’s recommendations, T levels and apprenticeships will together form this new technical education offer, and will act as two different routes to skilled employment.</p><p> </p><p>We have been speaking to all types of providers on the implementation of T levels, including the impact on level 2 provision – to gain their views on how we can best support them to successfully deliver the reforms. Later in 2017 we will hold a public consultation to allow anyone to submit their views.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 17/10/2017 16:04:22 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

uin	107478
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>The Government is taking action now to make sure high quality work placements are available when the first T levels go live in September 2020. From April next year, £74million in additional funding will be available to help providers to start building effective relationships with employers to deliver placements from September 2018. We will also be asking employers what additional support they will need to deliver work placements through the public consultation on T levels being launched later this year. Earlier this month we launched a work placement pilot scheme to test different models and approaches to delivering T level placements. We have worked with over 150 employers and providers to design these pilots and we will be working with a range of employers, providers and approximately 2500 students to deliver placements through this pilot this academic year.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 17/10/2017 16:07:54 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>Since its establishment in April 2017, the Institute for Apprenticeships has been responsible for ensuring high quality apprenticeships in England.

Resourcing decisions are being considered as part of the Department’s overall implementation programme, and we will ensure that the Institute has sufficient staff to fulfil its new responsibilities as it takes them on.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 17/10/2017 16:09:26 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
