‘T Levels’ are planned to be introduced in the autumn, these are technical qualifications providing skills based courses on accounting and finance, digital, manufacturing, business, hospitality, construction and social care.

The development will no doubt improve the acute skills gaps within these professions, and it’s particularly encouraging that accountancy and finance will be included.

This grassroots investment is much needed, as the industry is keen to develop the entry routes into the profession to encourage talent from all areas of the education system.
