Details

The employer support fund provides financial assistance to employers offering high-quality T Level industry placements between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024. Providers will get an employer support fund allocation. This funding is in addition to what providers already get for T Levels and industry placements.

The guidance explains what providers are responsible for, including:

  • validating any claims
  • making the payment to the employer
  • submitting data on the claims via the data tracking tool

The funding rules set out the requirements for the employer support fund allocation.

You’ll need to ask employers to complete an employer declaration form for their costs.
