| 摘要： | Awareness of T Levels -qualifications which can provide young people with the first steps in a career in engineering -is "surprisingly low" among young people, parents and and employers, figures show. A report published by EngineeringUK suggests that only 37% of young people (aged 11 to 18) surveyed have even heard of T Levels. Awareness levels were also found to vary by age group. Just over a third (35%) of 14 to 16 year-olds and 16 to 18 year-olds respectively said they knew what T Levels are - but this drops to only 30% of those aged 11 to 14. When it comes to parents, awareness levels were found to be even lower with just over a quarter (27%) of parents surveyed saying they had heard of them. Even fewer (18%) of parents surveyed say they know a lot/a fair amount about T Levels. There are higher levels of awareness among employers - with 72% of employers surveyed saying they are aware of T levels. However, less than a third (28%) of employers surveyed say they have both heard of T Levels and understand what they involve. Almost a third (32%) of employers surveyed say lack of knowledge is a barrier to offering placements. This highlights more needs to be done to enhance understanding, particularly if the sector is to reach the target of 43,500 industry placements by 2024/25. |
