ECA Member supports first T Level cohort

The first cohort of students taking T levels, the new level 3 qualification equivalent to three A levels, received their results this week. Many graduates from construction T Levels have already secured their first job or apprenticeship, including at Leicester-based ECA Member, Lewin Electrical Services.

Lewin Electrical Services is supporting two construction T Level students on industry placement. The ECA Member says the main benefit of the industry placement is that the T Level students gain confidence in themselves, stepping out of their comfort zones to use new technical skills in real work environments.

Daniel Lewin, owner of Lewin Electrical Services, said in Construction Management magazine: “Working with Leicester College, we can bring the next generation into the trade, giving T Level students the 45-day industry placement required to complete their course.

“We have built a relationship with our local college and took time to observe T Level students within the classroom and workshop environment, talking to students after lectures and interviewing them. This meant we got a good feel for the students and their skills and who we could support them on industry placement.

“The students have made a big difference to our workplace. We share our skills and experience to help them to progress, and they share their new skills with us too.”
