As part of Workplace Wednesday for T Level Week 2026, Sandwell College is celebrating the valuable industry experience its T Level Management and Administration students have gained through a partnership with Lloyds Banking Group.
Out of just 12 community bank placements available across the entire West Midlands, five of our first-year students successfully applied for and completed a 10-week paid industry placement with the national banking group.
A further 17 T Level learners benefited from a two-day work experience opportunity, giving them the chance to meet employees from across the organisation, explore different career pathways and discover the skills needed to succeed in the workplace.
A highlight of the experience was delivering presentations to an audience of more than 50 people. This provided a valuable opportunity for students to build confidence, develop their public speaking skills and put their learning into practice in a professional environment.
Workplace experience is a key part of the T Level journey, helping students connect what they learn in the classroom with the realities of working in their chosen industry.
Through its partnership with Lloyds Banking Group, Sandwell College is opening doors to valuable employer connections and practical learning opportunities, equipping students with the skills, experience and confidence to take their next steps towards successful careers.
As we celebrate Workplace Wednesday, these experiences showcase how T Levels are helping prepare the next generation of talent for the world of work.
