T Level students celebrated by young engineers academy

WMG Academy for Young Engineers Solihull have announced they are celebrating their T Level student’s success with a ‘T Level Celebration Week.’ As one of the first providers to deliver T Levels, WMG Academy say they are proud to be marking the moment and celebrating the success of their students.

WMG Academy started offering T Levels in Engineering this academic year. In September 2025 they hope to expand their T Level offer to include Digital as well. 

T Levels are two-year courses that young people can take following GCSEs, broadly equivalent in size to three A levels and accruing UCAS points. T Levels were developed in collaboration with employers to ensure that students will be equipped with the skills they need. They offer a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on the job’ experience with at least 45 days spent on an industry placement with an employer. With a T Level, students can progress straight on to skilled work, higher study or apprenticeships.

WMG Academy say their T Level students are moving on to such a wide range of next steps, with some planning on going straight into the workplace and others wanting to start a higher-level apprenticeship or go to university.

Minister for Skills, Jacqui Smith said: "This government is backing T Levels as a top-quality qualification, helping young people develop skills to seize opportunity.” "T Levels offer hands-on experience in the workplace and excellent career prospects for young people seeking skilled work or further study. This September saw us launch three new subjects, with another set to launch next year.”

“I’m delighted to see more employers getting behind T Levels by offering industry placements, including Amazon, Lloyds Banking Group, and Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, helping to nurture future talent and support the development of in-demand skills.”
