Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will publish data on the number of companies that (a) provided T-level placements in 2020-21 and (b) confirmed to provide placements in 2021-22.
We currently do not, nor plan to, collect data on the number of T Level industry placements delivered, or committed to, by individual companies. Instead, this information is held by education providers, who are responsible for securing industry placements for their T Level students. Therefore, we are unable to report on the number of companies currently offering or planning on offering placements.
However, through our ongoing engagement with employers, education providers and key stakeholders, we are able to identify which sectors and geographical locations we need to focus on to support the delivery of further industry placement opportunities for T Level students.
