We are proud to collaborate with numerous employers at Notre Dame and do so via our annual Careers Fair, workshops, and guest speaker visits for example. Collaborating with us creates a mutually beneficial relationship - you are able to by tap into the pool of the talented future workforce and students are able to gain real-world skills and knowledge of what's to come, including the benefits and challenges of the workforce.

T-Levels: New 315-hour Industry Placements

T Levels have been designed by the government to help address productivity and skills gaps in technical areas. At Notre Dame, we launched the Digital T Level in September 2020 as one of the trailblazers in further education for the qualification. We now offer 6 T Levels, providing students with the workplace skills they need to succeed, these can be explored below. T levels provide students with the opportunity to gain specialist technical skills, whilst also completing a 315-hour work placement, linked directly to students’ curriculum. This is an amazing opportunity for young people to stand out from the crowd and for employers to help rear and influence the next generation of the workforce. Placements introduce young people to their chosen industry and are an excellent way for employers to supplement their own workforce with students who bring fresh perspectives, enthusiasm, and new learning into the workplace.

By taking students on industry placement, you are giving them an opportunity to be inspired and informed about what working life is like, as well as taking on meaningful work in the form of projects or daily tasks that you believe are useful, both to them and to yourself.

Hosting an industry placement student helps you to:

• Find potential members of staff who are becoming qualified in their fields
• Gain additional support as students take on projects, social media work, or daily tasks which need to be done
• Develop your existing employees by allowing them to manage/supervise students
• Get new ideas and perspectives from students who are training
• Raise your profile by allowing the College to market the excellent work you’re doing with students
• Help to up-skill a new generation of workers

The industry placement could be entirely focused around a project that the employer would like to complete but has never had the time or resource to commit to, or it could be completing tasks associated with the sector in a supportive capacity. There are countless ways to develop the talent pipeline of the future whilst developing your business.

At the College, we appreciate that supporting a work placement student can be time-consuming. We will manage the entire process closely with you and support the student if issues arise. Employers can interview students or rely on the College to place students with each business tailored needs in mind. Notre Dame will also provide a dedicated staff member to support the students’ manager and other supervisory staff in the workplace, thus reducing the bureaucracy and time constraints as much as possible to enable each organisation to prosper.
