TRIPS - Supporting holistic development of Core Content and Occupational Specialism content for the T Level in Management and administration

This T Level Resource Improvement Project (TRIP) has produced a range of learning materials, developed by an experienced T Level provider. These learning materials will support the holistic delivery of Core Content of the T Level in Management and administration with the Business support Occupational Specialism. 

Produced by Stockton Riverside College, this TRIP provides an accessible Framework for learning, lesson plans and supporting learning materials. Together, these will enable learners to develop knowledge and understanding of Core Content 6- Project and change management through the delivery of Performance Outcome 2– Support the running of the organisation.  

The resources include:

• A Framework for learning to show how learning can be scaffolded and holistically sequenced to develop the required knowledge and skills.
• 10 lesson plans which cover 20 hours of learning to support the scaffolding of the knowledge and skills within the Occupational Specialism content with links to Industry Placement practice.
• Learning materials to support each lesson which enables the delivery of the 20 hours of learning.

The lessons are sequenced to follow the logical stages of creating a business growth plan, ensuring learners build knowledge and skills progressively. The sequence begins with an introduction to business growth strategies, giving learners the essential context before moving into more detailed analysis and planning.

The approach taken for this resource is rooted in holistic learning, integrating knowledge, practical skills, and behaviours across cognitive, technical, and interpersonal domains. Learners will develop analytical and strategic thinking, digital competence, and communication skills while also building confidence, adaptability, and reflective practice. Support for the running of an organisation is embedded throughout, as learners apply a range of tools and techniques to support business planning that aligns with organisational objectives, incorporates strategies for growth, integrates drivers for change and supports effective organisation and prioritisation of business processes.

Every activity has an applied purpose, mirroring real-world business processes from conducting internal and external analysis to using digital project management tools and presenting plans professionally. By revisiting and reinforcing prior knowledge throughout, learners can confidently apply their understanding to practical tasks, ensuring each stage builds towards the final integrated formative assessment activity.

The overall outcome of learning from this resource is for learners to be able to apply their understanding to propose effective growth strategies for an organisation, presenting these as SMART objectives and supported by plans that are produced digitally. This outcome demonstrates their ability to synthesise knowledge, apply planning tools, and communicate strategic recommendations clearly and professionally, reflecting the skills required in real business environments.

Learners will create plans for an organisation aiming to improve its performance. This will involve applying analytical tools and planning techniques to develop realistic strategies for growth.
