The ESFA have updated their guidance on the Industry Placement Capacity and Delivery Fund (CDF) to include details of a pilot they are running in the South West and West Midlands. The pilot will allow them to look at the difference the funding makes to provision of industry placements depending on industry, employer and area types, to enable them to better support all providers delivering T Levels and industry placements. Findings from this pilot will be shared with all providers receiving CDF throughout the academic year 2019 to 2020 and a full evaluation is expected to be published in late 2020.
