As part of the research, leading UK employers including NHS England and Lloyds Banking Group have signed an open letter to parents, urging them to consider technical education as a route into secure, skilled careers with them.
John Banks, T-level and Apprenticeship Manager at Lloyds Banking Group says: “We’ve signed this open letter to parents because every day we see the positive impact technical education can have on young people starting their careers. Pathways like apprenticeships and T-levels don’t just open doors – they help young people discover what they’re good at and where they can thrive.
“Many of our former T-level students and apprentices go on to build rewarding, long-term careers within our organisation, progressing into skilled roles across areas like operations, finance, data and AI.
“And of course the huge benefit to us is that we build a secure, high-quality talent pipeline.
“We want parents to feel confident exploring these options with their children and to recognise the opportunities they can unlock.
“Technical education offers a clear, practical route into careers with purpose – we’re proud to support that and would encourage other employers to do the same.”
