T Levels are a flagship technical education programme, combining classroom learning with a substantial industry placement. For employers, industry placements offer a practical way to grow talent pipelines, bring new skills into the workforce and engage young people with real career opportunities.

The Department for Education, working with SDN (Strategic Development Network) Mesma Group, is hosting an Employer Skills and T Level Industry Placements Conference in London. This is not a traditional conference – it is designed to be highly practical, interactive and employer‑led.

The event focuses on real examples, adaptable placement models and practical tools that employers can use immediately to start, scale or strengthen their approach to T Level industry placements.

What you’ll gain from attending

Participants will:

• Hear directly from employers delivering and scaling T Level industry placements across different sectors and organisation sizes
• Explore how T Levels fit within wider workforce planning, talent pipelines and apprenticeship strategies
• Learn about practical, adaptable industry placement delivery models
• Take part in interactive discussions and problem‑solving sessions to support implementation and internal buy‑in
• Access tools, resources and guidance you can use straight away
• Leave with greater confidence and clarity about next steps for your organisation

The conference is designed to be interactive, allowing attendees to focus on the conversations most relevant to their organisation. Clear signposting to follow‑on support will be provided, helping employers move from insight to action after the event.

Who should attend?

This conference is ideal for:

• Employers exploring T Level industry placements for the first time
• Employers already hosting placements and looking to expand or enhance their approach

It will be particularly valuable for senior leaders, HR professionals, learning and development teams, operational managers, and anyone involved in workforce planning or the delivery of industry placements.
