Can You Help Shape the Next Generation of Engineers?
We are looking for engineering employers across the Liverpool City Region to offer meaningful industry placements to our growing T-Level cohort.
Our T-Level Engineering programme is expanding, with a larger cohort of talented young people preparing to take their first steps into the engineering and manufacturing sector. This growth is exciting for our students and for the future skills pipeline of the Liverpool City Region, but it also means we need to build new partnerships with local employers who can offer high-quality industry placements.
We are asking parents, carers and members of our wider school community to help. If you work for, own, or have links with an engineering-related organisation that may be able to host a T-Level student, please get in touch. Opportunities could come from a wide range of sectors, including advanced manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, construction, civil engineering, product design, CAD, maintenance, fabrication, electronics, mechatronics, energy, utilities and technical services.
- Develop your future talent pipeline: Meet motivated students early and help them understand the skills, standards and behaviours your sector needs.
- Bring fresh ideas into your workplace: Students can contribute enthusiasm, digital confidence and developing technical knowledge while learning from experienced colleagues.
- Support recruitment and succession planning: A placement gives employers the opportunity to identify potential apprentices, trainees and future employees.
- Strengthen your local community: Your support helps young people across the Liverpool City Region access meaningful careers and strengthens the region’s engineering skills base.
- Raise your organisation’s profile: Working with the school demonstrates a visible commitment to education, social value and investment in the next generation.
- Receive support from the school: We will work with employers to plan a suitable placement, prepare the student and maintain contact throughout the experience.
Hosting a student is not about finding someone to make tea or simply observe from the sidelines. The most valuable placements allow a young person to experience a real workplace, contribute to appropriate tasks, learn from professionals and understand how engineering projects are delivered safely and effectively. In return, employers can make a practical difference while building relationships with emerging local talent.
Could Your Workplace Help?
If your organisation could offer a placement, would like to explore what is involved, or can introduce us to an employer who may be interested, please contact me through the school. Even an initial conversation or a useful introduction could open the door to an invaluable opportunity for one of our students.
Together, we can create more opportunities for young people, support local employers and help secure the future of engineering across the Liverpool City Region.
Please contact Dan Howard directly on [email protected] if you are able to help. Thank you.
