Employer-Set Project introduction

The Employer-Set Project is an assessment made up of a number of tasks which will assess the knowledge and skills you have learnt as part of the ‘Core’ element of your T Level. Each project is developed together with employers in the industry to reflect realistic types of developments, activities and challenges.

The Employer-Set Project is a formal assessment that you will be marked and graded on. You will be marked on the quality and accuracy of the written work you produce. It is therefore important that you carry out your work to the highest standard you can.

How well you know and understand the subject, and how you have used your knowledge to complete the project must be clear to the marker. This means you should explain your thinking and how/why you have made your decisions within your written work e.g. as part of your planning, reflections, or evaluations.

FAQs

Can I do another T level along side this course

No - The T level programmes make up a whole timetable including the large industry placement element of the course therefore it is not possible to do another Level 3 course alongside it.

Do I need Maths and English GCSE?

Yes - There is quite a significant Maths element to some of the Business pathways therefore a Maths GCSE at a grade 4 as a minimum is required.

As part of the assessments students will need to write reports so English GCSE at a grade 4 would be an advantage.

When do I choose which pathway I would like to do?

You will have to decide on your pathway at the end of the second term at college. By this time you will have had more insight into what each of the pathways involve including career talks.

Do I need to find my own industry placement?

It is a joint effort. We will encourage you to find your own placement but we also have experts within the college that can support you through this.
