T Level Provider SupportThe overarching purpose of the T Level Provider Support Package is to support providers with creating and sustaining a high-quality T Level programme. More specifically to: * provide support for two years prior to delivery to providers delivering their first T Levels in 2025 or 2026, including industry placement support; * pick up from the current Supplier to cover the second year of planning support for 2024 providers, including industry placement support; * provide industry placement support for 2023 providers, as this was not part of the previous planning support package; * include some in-delivery support for all waves; and * put in place longer-term support structures, including networks and online resources, that can be self-sustaining in the long-term. Given the complexity of the new courses, the demands on teachers' time, and the challenges of curriculum sequencing, industry placements sourcing and delivery and specialist teacher recruitment, the need for an effective support package is paramount.
