Telford College is seeking more employers to offer placement opportunities as it expands its T Level provision.

Telford College is expanding its T Level provision and seeking more employers to offer student placements. The college currently has over 200 students studying T Levels across areas such as health and science, IT and digital, business and administration, education and childcare, and engineering and manufacturing. Plans are in place to add construction and media pathways to the curriculum next year.

The college saw a strong increase in distinctions achieved by T Level students this summer, with stand-out results in accounting and digital. Robert Lees, the college's vice principal for curriculum, said: 'T Level placements are a vital bridge between education and employment, helping young people gain real-world insight while contributing meaningfully to their host organisations.' He added that the college is working with many of Shropshire's largest employers but needs more companies to participate.

Lees noted that employers benefit from involvement by nurturing future talent, raising their profile and gaining fresh perspectives from learners. The expansion comes during T Levels Week, a national campaign celebrating the qualifications. One T Level is equivalent to three A levels, and students can progress to skilled work, higher study or apprenticeships.
