Our provisional analysis of data for the first cohort indicates that a total of 49% of TLTP students progressed to Level 3 outcomes. That is significantly higher than the provisional estimate of 37% progression to Level 3 for the wider level 2 cohort of 16 year olds. We are internally monitoring data on enrolment, completion and destinations, to ensure that young people are enrolled on the programme in line with its intended target group, and that it is meeting its policy aim of supporting progression to T Levels. Where necessary, we will make further changes in light of this monitoring. We are also internally monitoring information on the characteristics of young people enrolled on the programme, to monitor access to the programme and the impacts on them, to inform future development of the programme.
