The Department for Education has launched a £1 million contract for an organisation to drive new T Level employer placements.
A tender, published last week, is for a contract due to launch in September running for two years.
The document explains that the DfE is seeking “a potential supplier to engage with employers to develop their knowledge and understanding of T Levels, as well as helping them to plan and prepare to deliver high-quality industry placements through guidance materials, workshops and webinars, and tiered hands-on support”.
The contracted firm is expected to engage with private sector employers, central government departments and quangos, and wider public sector employers like local government and NHS trusts.
