Top tips for sourcing industry placements

Support is available to providers to engage with employers and source industry placements. We encourage you to register for these services and keep your listings regularly updated, so that employers can find your Industry Placement opportunities.

Here are 5 top tips:

1. Employer engagement CPD: Click here to book onto our new, fully funded CPD programme to help you plan, implement and embed employer engagement strategies.
2. Connect with employers interested in T Levels service: click here for guidance about how to register. This enables you to find employers that have ‘registered an interest’ in engaging with T Level providers. Employers have registered over 2,000 opportunities since November 2022
3. National Careers Service course directory: click here for guidance about updating your T Level information. It is important this is kept updated as it is enables employers to search for T Level providers via T Levels and industry placement support for employers.
4. Your website: After employers leave gov.uk, check how easy it is for them to find information about industry placements on your website, and to contact you. It can be good practice to include a prominent employer tab or section on your main landing page. 
5. Industry placement delivery approaches: remember that a range of delivery approaches are available to ensure students can access high-quality and meaningful placements, because we know that a ‘one size fits all’ approach does not work for employers, providers or students.
