Webinar recording: Employer Engagement What Employers Tell Us and Practical Tools for Placements
This masterclass was delivered 1 July 2026.
We bring together key insights from employers and providers alongside a suite of practical resources developed through the T Level Co-Lab networks.
We explored:
- what builds employer confidence and what leads to hesitation or drop-off
- how employers experience industry placements in practice
- what makes placements more meaningful for both employers and students
We also shared practical tools to support employer engagement, including:
- the employer engagement conversation toolkit
- employer-facing brochures and role-specific annexes
- approaches to building confidence and sustaining employer relationships
The focus will be on how these insights and tools can be used in practice to support more confident, consistent and effective employer conversations, and to strengthen placement quality overall.
