Welcome T level students into your team
T levels are advanced technical qualifications for 16–19-year-olds, designed in collaboration with employers like ARM, BBC and Cisco. Our Digital T level equips students with the skills to thrive as junior software developers and data analysts – ready to add value from day one of their industry placement.
Why host an Ada T level student?
- Access fresh digital talent: Students bring strong foundations in programming, data, cybersecurity, networking and UI/UX.
- Mentor future leaders: Give your team members a chance to lead, mentor, and develop line management skills.
- Support diversity & inclusion: Many Ada students come from underrepresented backgrounds, helping you build a more inclusive workforce.
- Grow your talent pipeline: Think of placements as extended interviews – many employers stay connected post-placement.
What does the placement involve?
Timing: Placements run between July –June, typically lasting 20–30 days (flexibly structured across blocks, part-time weeks or hybrids).
Tasks: Work on real projects – from software testing to CRM systems or dashboards. Ada helps co-design tasks to ensure fit.
