T Levels work!

Bolton College T Level students impress on their placements.

Bolton College T Level students have excelled on their nine-week Industry Placement at Bethell.

What Bethell had to say:

‘We haven’t previously taken on this number of work experience students – we can now see the benefits. Hopefully the next cohort of students will be as good as these, because they’ve set the bar high!’

Tim Kilroe, Chief Executive

‘Throughout, the students were fully engaged and displayed ambition, confidence and an eagerness to learn. Feedback from our departments has been excellent and we’d love to have the students back.’

James Lacey, Talent Acquisition Manager

T Levels are all about getting our students prepped and ready for the world of work.

20% of a T Level programme sees our young professionals make their mark with an employer, via a sector-specific work placement.

Four of our Construction T Level students impressed construction and utility services company Bethell Group, as they spent nine weeks rotating between various departments within the business.

What our students had to say:

‘I’ve been inspired – most people my age don’t get the opportunity to do quality, real-life work experience.’

Joe Gittens-Smethurst

‘Thanks to this, I’ll be returning to College with an improved skillset. I want to be a site engineer or project manager.’

Mueen Uddin

‘It was really well-rounded – I spent time in each department and now I want to become a quantity surveyor or estimator.’

Joseph Myerscough

‘Everyone was so welcoming which helped my confidence grow. I see my future in site engineering or project management.’
