The Department for Education (DfE) launched a competition inviting bids to win the right to develop, deliver and award the first three T Levels from September 2020. The first three T Levels will be in construction, digital and education and childcare. The invitation to tender will be open for organisations to submit bids until 26 October 2018, with the contracts expected to be awarded in March 2019. The DfE news story with further details, can be read here.
The DfE has also published a report exploring employer perceptions of T Level industry placements. City & Guilds have responded to this report referencing their research with AELP into T Level work placements which contains some key differences to the DfE report.
