description
The Department for Education (DfE) is considering launching a regional Industry Placement Coordinators (IPCO) project to support T Levels within NHS Integrated Care Systems (ICS). T Levels combine classroom learning with an industry placement of at least 315 hours. Industry placements offer students work experience to enhance their career prospects.
The DfE funded a pilot in 2023-25, embedding IPCOs within seven ICSs, to support the NHS to host more industry placements, addressing challenges such as limited resources and lack of awareness.
Vision: Building on the pilots success, the DfE wishes to explore a further project, expanding the scope of the role to cover a whole region. Each IPCO would be based within an ICS with a wider geographical remit, to broaden their impact.
Desired outcomes include:
| - | High-quality industry placement experience and a pathway to employment within the NHS |
| - | Enhanced employer engagement |
| - | Closer relationships between employers and providers |
| - | Standardised, efficient processes |
| - | Sustainability. |
The aims of this early market engagement event are to explore:
| - | interest in hosting an IPCO. |
| - | how regional coverage could be achieved, including: how IPCOs might manage the additional workload; how this would change the role (balancing strategic and operational work); and the implications for governance. |
| - | how best to distribute IPCOs, given that some NHS regions have more ICSs than others. |
| - | how quickly the project could start, with the goal of having IPCOs in post by 01.10.2025 |
| - | risks and mitigations. |
| - | sustainability of the project's impact beyond the funding period, including alternative ways IPCOs could be funded after DfE funding ceases. |
DfE will be hosting an open, virtual market engagement event on 7th February 2025 from 10:00-11:00 via Microsoft Teams. (Teams event meeting link below):
