Up to 35 councils will benefit from a new support programme to help them create high quality T Level placements.

Launched by the Local Government Association (LGA), the programme will ensure councils have the capacity to plan deliver industry placements that are effective for both the council and the young person.

Under the package, councils will receive five days of expert support to provide a mentoring service, training on good management for students and a health check for the council.

It will also identify parts of the council that are suitable for T Level placements.

Cllr Kevin Bentley, chair of the LGA's People and Places Board said: 'We recognise that councils face increasing pressure and additional burdens to deliver local services whilst still attracting, recruiting, developing, managing, and retaining their workforce. We know capacity to engage in new initiatives and new opportunities is always a challenge.

'This is why T Levels are such an important opportunity for councils. T Levels are the first step towards a career in local government and a fantastic way to promote the opportunities available to young people in the sector. They can also help councils to develop and retain new young staff members.'

Councils can apply for the scheme here.
