Mapping T-Levels to your

Local Labour Market

The Government has confirmed the

introduction of T-Levels from 2019.

Students will be able to choose one of the

following technical career routes:

Agriculture, Environmental & Animal Care

Catering & Hospitality

Business & Administration

Childcare & Education

Construction

Creative & Design

Engineering & Manufacturing

Digital

Hair & Beauty

Health & Science

Legal, Financial & Accounting

Sales, Marketing & Procurement

Protective Services

Social Care

Transport & Logistics

According to the Government,

the purpose of T-levels is to

"Build a dynamic, high-quality technical option, which is

grounded in engagement with employers

and is responsive to the changing needs

of the economy."

Which begs the question

The answer is to map T-Level routes to labour market need

Web design & dev professionals

To do this we first need to identify

the occupations that T-Levels relate to.

For example

Jobs in 2016

2016-2021

Jobs by 2021

Annual Openings

316,671

10,712

327,383

12,237

We can then map these occupations to

our data to identify national demand

But where things get really interesting is

when we map T-Level routes to

local economies

Solent LEP Region

It means we can compare demand for

different T-Level-related jobs in the region

Or delve into a specific route to identify

local demand for related occupations

What this all means is that by mapping

T-Level routes to your local labour market

You can identify which are the most important in terms of

meeting the needs of local employers

...and align your T-Levels to

respond positively to the changing needs of your region's economy
