Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate he has made of the proportion of students completing T levels who will go on to (a) employment, (b) higher education and (c) apprenticeships.

T levels are rigorous, technical study programmes at level 3, designed by employers to meet their skills needs. Their central purpose is to enable students to progress to skilled employment at level 3 and above, and into further relevant training at level 4, 5 or 6, either in the workplace or at an education provider

It is too early in the development of T level programmes to identify the proportion of students who will progress to employment, higher education or apprenticeships. We are working closely with employers and higher education providers to ensure that T levels support progression to skilled employment and higher levels of technical education.
