The first tranche of successful T-level construction students, whose results were released in the last few days, is in the vanguard of helping transform an industry struggling to find skilled tradespeople<\/h2>\n

The results saw an across-the-board pass rate of just over 90% for the 3,448 T-level construction students taking a range of technical levels, which included three construction-focused subjects.<\/p>\n

Students taking two of these – Onsite construction and Building services engineering for construction – are the first to have completed the two-year course. It is the second year that T-level<\/a> construction students\u00a0have completed the Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction course.<\/p>\n

Construction T-levels will continue to grow<\/h3>\n

The initial tranche of vocational subjects, available to 16- to 19-year-olds, which also include subjects such as accountancy, healthcare and finance, will be augmented in 2024 and 2025 or beyond to embrace agriculture, legal services and catering.<\/p>\n

“It is so encouraging for the future of construction that young people are able to choose a structured course which will prepare them for a vocational career,” said Actis UK<\/a> and Ireland sales director Mark Cooper.<\/p>\n

“With around 20% of the course involving industry placement, the T-level construction students get a real insight into their chosen profession, with strong academic back-up via classroom learning. With the T-levels being worth around the same as three A levels, it’s reassuring to see careers in construction given the elevated status they deserve.<\/p>\n

“It’s a complicated business, and with net zero targets and complex building regulations it requires a combination of academic know-how and physical ability – something which has perhaps not previously been recognised either by the education system or the wider public.<\/p>\n

“With the ever-present need for more homes and for retrofitting existing thermally inefficient ones, there is a huge demand for the services of talented skilled people in the industry.<\/p>\n

“We are very keen on encouraging young people to consider careers in construction – and some of our team go into schools to talk about the kind of roles available and even take part in lessons at FE colleges, offering real-life industry insight.”<\/p>\n
