Free webinar on industry placements and t levels
Over the last two years, many employers have been offering industry placements - an extended period of structured time that a student spends in the workplace, developing real skills and making a meaningful contribution to the organisation.
Industry placements will be a fundamental part of T Levels – a new course designed by employers for 16-19-year olds, which combines classroom learning with a substantial placement.
What might this look like in the current circumstances?
On Thursday 18 June, the Department for Education (DfE) and SDN are hosting an important webinar for employers, giving an update on industry placements and T Levels, how they might contribute to your workforce development in the coming months, and the support now available.
There will also be chance to hear from two high-profile employers who have already been offering placements.
The session is free of charge. Find out more and register https://employerindustryplacements.co.uk/webinar_events/industry-placements-how-might-they-support-your-workforce-development-in-the-coming-months-and-what-support-is-available/

Update on Job Retention Scheme
The Job Retention Scheme will be closed to new entrants from 30 June. From thereon in, it will only be available to employers that have previously used the scheme in respect of employees they have previously furloughed. To complete the 3-week minimum furlough period before this date, it means that the final date by which an employer can furlough an employee for the first time will be the 10th June.
So that means that as a company you will need to put all employees you want to furlough (for the first time) on furlough by the 10th of June – so that they can complete their first cycle by the 30th of June. After the 10th of June an employer won’t be able to place new employees on furlough.
That effectively means that the scheme also closes to new companies – if as a company you haven’t put anyone on furlough by the 10th of June
