T Level student
I am currently doing my T Level and think that it is useful to people who are worried about making a choice between A levels or an apprenticeship, as it has both school work and a work placement which allows for people to get experience of working whilst getting a good qualification. My placement at Stockport Council has been great as it has allowed me to experience what it’s like working in a professional environment and also gain new skills I can use in the future.
