Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government to what extent they envisage that Trailblazer groups of employers will be used to inform the development of core content for T level qualifications.
Trailblazer groups sit within the Institute for Apprenticeships and their primary purpose is the development of apprenticeship standards. These standards are being used by T level panels (advisory groups of employers, professionals and practitioners) to help inform the development of outline content for new T level qualifications, which comprises of both core and specialist content.
We are keen to encourage more members of Trailblazer groups to apply to be members of T level panels, to help strengthen the alignment of T level content to apprenticeship standards. We recently launched the second phase of recruitment for T level panels who will develop content for the routes that will be delivered from 2022.
