Congratulations to former T-level student, Caio, who is already making a difference in the construction industry, just months after completing his T-level in Design, Surveying and Planning!
Caio, formerly of Swindon Academy, studied at Cirencester College between 2023-2025, and for his industry placement he worked with Beard Construction in Swindon. He impressed his employer so much, that he was offered a full-time contract with them for when he finished his T-level.
Caio started working at Beards full-time in August, and has continued to impress his colleagues. Recently, he received a monthly recognition award at the Swindon regional briefing for his hard work!
Jamie Harwood, Director & Company Safety Director, Swindon, said “Caio’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn impressed the Swindon team during his T-level placement. We knew it would have been a missed opportunity to let him go, so we were delighted to welcome him back in August on a full-time contract as a Trainee Site Manager.
At Beards, we’re committed to nurturing the next generation of construction talent, and T-level placements are a fantastic way to invest in young people like Caio. We’ve seen first-hand how valuable these placements are for both the student and the business, and we’re looking forward to welcoming more T-level students at Beards.”
Craig Bloxsome, Course Team Leader for Design, Surveying and Planning, said “Caio’s journey from T-level student to full-time Trainee Site Manager with Beards is a brilliant example of how powerful T-level qualifications can be. His success shows how the Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction T-level at Cirencester College equips students with the skills and confidence to thrive in the construction industry. We’re proud to see our learners making such a strong impact in the workplace, especially at the beginning of his career.”
