During the academic year 2020-2021, NFEC held a number of online seminars which
focussed on preparing for the launch in September 2022 of the three T-Levels
planned for the Engineering sector; T Level technical qualification in Design
and Development for Engineering and Manufacturing T Level technical
qualification in Maintenance, Installation and Repair for Engineering and
Manufacturing T Level technical qualification in Engineering, Manufacturing,
Processing and Control During the course of these webinars it became clear that
one of the foremost challenges facing NFEC members in delivering the new
T-Levels would be in the sourcing, management and measurement of the substantial
work placements of 315 hours which form part of the overall T-Level
qualification. NFEC committed to collate some case studies, contributed from
NFEC member colleges to illustrate the strategies that had been employed so far
to build capacity for work placements, ahead of T-Level launch, and to provide
shared resources to aid all members in their own planning and implementation.
The report which has resulted consists of three cases studies and shared
resources from three NFEC member colleges representing various settings,
geographies and demographics. Please view the report within our 'Working 4 You'
section 'Reports and Case Studies' or click the link below: NFEC - T Level Work
Experience Case Studies Report 2022 NFEC would like to thank and acknowledge the
contributions made from the following colleges; South Devon College, Walsall
College, Herefordshire, Ludlow & North Shropshire College. We trust that this
will provide you with some useful information and a reminder that "we are all in
this together"! We will welcome feedback from members and indeed, any further
contributions that NFEC can add to this resource.
