Becoming a T Level ambassador

Introducing the T Level Ambassador Network

The T Level Ambassador Network helps build T Level understanding and engagement in the business community. It has over 800 members who are advocates for technical education and have a key role in bringing industry and education together.  Members including employers ranging from large businesses to SMEs, providers (primarily colleges with some schools), universities, students, and other organisations including ERBs/LEPs. 

What does an ambassador do?

Using your influence and personal connection with T Levels, as an ambassador you will encourage employers and young people to take advantage of the opportunities T Levels, and more broadly technical education, can offer.

Ambassadorial activity is delivered under 4 key areas; storytelling, signposting, celebrating and insight. Within each area you will be able to support the messaging by; sharing best practice; endorsing key messages; attending events, providing insight and much more. You’ll probably find that most of the asks of ambassadors you’ll already be doing as part of your current role.

We also ask you to record and share with us what you’ve done via our exclusive T Level Ambassador Network Mobile App. The app also allows you to stay in the know with all the latest updates, news and have access to T Level resources in the most convenient way.
