Become a T Level Partner

Welcome T Level students into your team and support the next generation of digital talent by offering an employer placement.

What are T Levels?

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.

Mentoring opportunities

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 T Level placement involve?

Timing

45 day placement (flexibly structured across blocks, part-time weeks or hybrids).

Task

Work on real projects, from software testing to CRM systems or dashboards. Ada helps co-design tasks to ensure fit.

Format

There’s nowhere else like this; that provides the same opportunities, that brings the same like-minded people together. You’re not going to find anywhere else like Ada.
