The 2026 theme “Skills for Life” reflects exactly this.</li><li>Pathways for Every Background There are opportunities across every major industry—from digital and engineering to care, environmental science, creative fields, and more. Many employers use NAW to showcase new roles, success stories, and application tips.</li></ol><p> </p><p><strong>How You Can Get Involved</strong></p><ul><li>Join an online webinar or careers fair</li><li>Speak to current apprentices and employers during live Q&As.</li><li>Explore the NAW events map and see what’s happening near you or online.

T Level Thursday is a chance to celebrate student success, highlight employer partnerships, and showcase how T Levels are shaping the future workforce.</p><p>Whether you’re a student exploring your next steps, an employer thinking about talent pipelines, or a parent or educator supporting young people, T Levels are creating real opportunities – and real outcomes.</p><p> </p><p><strong>What Are T Levels?</strong></p><p>T Levels are two-year technical qualifications, equivalent to three A levels, designed in collaboration with employers to meet industry needs. They combine:</p><ul><li>High-quality classroom learning</li><li>Industry-relevant technical skills</li><li>A substantial industry placement of at least 45 days</li></ul><p>This blend ensures that students don’t just learn about an industry – they experience it.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Why T Levels Matter in 2026</strong></p><p>As industries continue to evolve, employers are increasingly looking for young people who are work-ready, confident, and skilled. T Levels respond directly to this demand by:</p><ul><li>Teaching up-to-date technical knowledge</li><li>Embedding employability skills such as teamwork, communication and problem-solving</li><li>Giving students real workplace experience before they progress</li></ul><p>In 2026, with more pathways established and employer awareness growing, T Levels are becoming a core part of the skills landscape.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Celebrating Success: Digital T Level Learners Complete Industry Placements with TitanRoc</strong></p><p>We’re incredibly proud to celebrate six Digital T Level learners who are about to complete their industry placements with the innovative gaming company TitanRoc. Since Summer 2025, these learners have been actively involved in QA testing an upcoming game, contributing real value to the development process while gaining first-hand experience in the fast-paced gaming industry.</p><p>Their dedication, enthusiasm, and professionalism have not only supported TitanRoc during a crucial phase of production but also helped shape their own technical and professional growth.</p><p>Throughout their time with TitanRoc, the learners have developed a strong portfolio of skills, including:</p><ul><li>Quality Assurance (QA) testing techniques – including bug identification, replication, and reporting</li><li>Critical thinking to identify inconsistencies and gameplay issues</li><li>Analytical review of game performance and user experience</li><li>Logical troubleshooting to determine causes of bugs or irregularities</li><li>Communication skills through structured bug reporting and daily team interactions</li><li>Collaboration within a professional development team, working alongside designers, programmers, and producers</li><li>Time management and task prioritisation within an active development cycle</li><li>Attention to detail when checking for visual, audio, and gameplay accuracy</li></ul><p>This experience has offered our learners a unique opportunity to participate in a real-world gaming project, and their contributions have been invaluable. We are excited to see where their talent and passion take them next - whether deeper into the gaming industry or into broader digital and tech pathways.</p><p>A huge congratulations to all six learners for their hard work, commitment, and achievements! </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/News%20%282%29.png" data-entity-uuid="8bc6b839-1f8d-4578-89ba-acda10c5054b" data-entity-type="file" alt="Key dates and upcoming events" width="1300" height="285"></p><p><strong><u>Key Dates: </u></strong></p><p>9th February to 15th February 2026 - <strong>National Apprenticeship Week</strong></p><p>12th February 2026 - <strong>T Level Thursday</strong></p><p>5th February 2026 -<a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/event/apprenticeship-open-evening-2026"> <strong>Apprenticeship Open Evening 2026</strong></a></p><p>7th March 2026 - <a href="https://www.ucw.ac.uk/open-day/"><strong>UCW Open Day</strong></a></p><p>25th March 2026 - <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/event/have-go-march-open-evening"><strong>“Come and Have a Go!” Open Evening</strong></a></p><p> </p><p><a href="mailto:cet@weston.ac.uk">Get in touch with the Careers and Employability Team, by clicking here. </a></p>

One Message, Different Voices
Take a look at this powerful film made by the staff of Weston College to show how important it is for everyone from different backgrounds to be included. The film shares heartfelt stories and interviews with a diverse group of staff, showing how accepting different identities and backgrounds can make a big difference. Its purpose is to encourage viewers to think about their own biases and work towards making our community more welcoming to all. We invite everyone, regardless of their background, to join us and be a part of our journey toward a more inclusive future.
Our workplace champions the right of staff to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps. In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee's ability to succeed.
