Further education providers offering construction T Levels are set to benefit from a \u00a338m funding boost to build new classroms and refurbish existing buildings.<\/p>\n

T Levels are equivalent to A Levels and will be taught at more than\u00a0 50 further education venues from 2020.<\/p>\n

Construction is one of the first technical subjects on offer alongside education and digital.<\/p>\n

Construction courses will focus on design, surveying and planning.<\/p>\n

The \u00a338m will make sure young people taking the new technical courses have access to industry standard equipment and high quality facilities to “gain the skills and knowledge employers demand.”<\/p>\n

Apprenticeships and Skills Minster, Anne Milton said: “T Levels are a once in a generation opportunity to transform technical education in this country.<\/p>\n

“They will give young people the opportunity to gain the skills they need to get a great job, go on to do a higher level apprenticeship or further study.<\/p>\n

“It will be vital that they have access to the latest, high quality equipment and state-of the art facilities during their studies.<\/p>\n

“The T Level Capital Fund will help those further education providers at the forefront of delivering these important reforms to be ready to teach T Levels from September 2020.<\/p>\n

\n

To support the further education sector to deliver the new T Level programmes, the government will provide an additional half a billion pounds every year once they are all fully rolled out.<\/p>\n
