T Level Student Placements

By Ellie Nixon | 24th July 2024

Recently, we have had had two students working with us in our Technical department. These students came from Hartlepool Sixth Form College as part of their T level qualification in Laboratory Science.

Both students, Leah and Keira have now successfully completed their placement with us and their course.

Hart Bio would like to congratulate Leah and Keira for successfully completing this placement with us, and we wish them the best of luck for their future.

 

About T Levels

T Levels are a new, 2-year qualification for 16 to 19 year olds. Designed with employers, each T Level is equivalent to 3 A levels and helps young people develop the knowledge, attitude and practical skills to thrive in the workplace.

At the heart of each course, a 45-day industry placement will give you early access to the brightest talent entering your market.

Students will be placed one or two days per week with an employer from October 2022, working unpaid within the organisation during their T Level studies.
