Preparation ahead of Employer Engagement - Questions to ask Curriculum Colleagues

Introduction

This tool is aimed at employer engagement colleagues to support preparations to confidently engage with employers about T Levels and answer questions with regards curriculum content, delivery models, typical tasks and activities, progression routes etc.

Guidance 

As an employer engagement colleague, you play a vital role in promoting T Levels to employers and securing high-quality industry placements for students. To do this effectively, you need to have a good understanding of the T Level curriculum, the learning outcomes, and the expectations for the industry placement. You also need to be able to communicate the benefits of T Levels to employers and address any questions or concerns they may have.

This document provides you with some questions you can ask your curriculum colleagues to prepare yourself to be able to confidently engage with employers. The questions are grouped into four categories: general information, curriculum content, industry placement, and employer benefits. 

You can use these questions as a starting point for your conversation with curriculum staff and adapt them as needed depending on the specific T Level and employer.
