Celebration of Vocational Training Week in the Year 2025
During last week's National Apprenticeship Week, Notre Dame's Careers Department took the opportunity to spotlight the benefits of T Level courses and apprenticeships for students.
T Level Thursday, a dedicated day during National Apprenticeship Week, was particularly significant in promoting the value of T Levels as a strong alternative to apprenticeships or A-levels. This day aimed to raise awareness of the technical education pathways that combine classroom learning with practical work experience, making it attractive both to students and employers.
T Levels, new technical courses designed to provide young people with the skills and experience needed for skilled employment, higher education, or apprenticeships, are a key focus of the week. These courses are designed to offer a combination of classroom learning and on-the-job training through an industry placement, leading to a nationally recognized qualification.
While the specific T Level courses offered at Notre Dame were not listed in the search results, it is known that they typically cover areas such as digital, construction, education, health, and engineering disciplines, tailored to reflect local industry needs and college specialisms. Interested individuals are advised to consult Notre Dame’s official website or contact their admissions office directly for the most current curriculum offer.
Apprenticeships, paid jobs that provide on-the-job training and classroom-based learning, were also highlighted during the week. Apprentices spend at least 20% of their working hours on classroom-based learning, ensuring a balanced approach to their development. Job advertisements for apprenticeships can be found on SharePoint at Notre Dame, by searching 'ND Careers Hub'.
The Careers Department at Notre Dame offers workshops, careers guidance appointments, and job advertisements to support current students with their next steps, including apprenticeships. The story highlight 'NAW 2025' on Notre Dame's Instagram provides updates about National Apprenticeship Week activities.
Notre Dame does not offer apprenticeships directly, but their dedicated Careers Department is available to support students in finding suitable opportunities. The positive impact apprenticeships have on individuals, businesses, and the economy was also highlighted during the week, showcasing success stories and encouraging businesses to support T Level placements.
In conclusion, National Apprenticeship Week at Notre Dame was a time to celebrate and promote technical education pathways, such as T Level courses and apprenticeships, which offer a balanced approach to learning and provide students with the skills and experience needed for their future careers.
