Service Industries: T-levels

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what progress his Department has made on the introduction of T-Levels in the hospitality sector.

Answer

We recently announced appointments to a further nine employer-led T level panels, including the catering panel, who will begin work on developing the outline content for T levels in this area. This is key to our approach – putting employers at the heart of T level development to specify the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to succeed in their industries.

Hospitality occupations also fall within the Catering and Hospitality technical education route. The hospitality pathway within this route will be delivered via apprenticeships only and we do not intend to develop T levels for this area.

Occupational maps define the routes and pathways, and are owned by the Institute for Apprenticeships, who carried out a consultation on the maps earlier this year. Their response to the consultation can be found at: https://www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/about/occupational-maps/.
