Recommendation 27
27
Accepted
Paragraph: 101
Ensure hybrid T Level placements maintain workplace component quality and overall student experience.
Conclusion
We welcome the Department’s introduction of a hybrid model for T Level placements in certain subjects. This could help reduce the travel burden for students, and widen access to placements. It also reflects the preferences of some employers who called for greater placement flexibility to match the increased uptake of hybrid working patterns. However, the Department must take great care to ensure that this reform does not dilute the workplace component of T Levels, or detract from the overall student experience.
Government Response Summary
The government plans to evaluate all placement delivery approaches, including hybrid/remote working, to understand their usage and placement quality. It also commits to continually monitoring all delivery models to ensure program needs are met.
