will bring to their business.” T Level provision can also aid in the development of existing employees, too. As well as the injection of fresh ideas and enthusiasm, placements can provide mentoring and coaching opportunities for the employees of the business.
“Those offering placements also get the opportunity to see future talent before their competitors and promote their business to new entrants,” adds Claire.
While the exact future of the T Level remains uncertain - Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has already stated his intention to merge them with A-levels to form the Advanced British Standard - it is clear that creating closer ties with business to identify and provide much- needed skills is seen as a key driver to the UK’s competitiveness.
Claire adds: “As employers recognise and promote their success with T Levels plugging

their skills gaps and preparing a future talent pipeline, more businesses are developing interest and involvement. As this happens, the engagement by employers will gain momentum and the impact across the county’s economy will be more easily recognised.”

USING DATA FOR BETTER FLEET MANAGEMENT
Managing a fleet of vehicles in 2023 isn’t easy. In an industry grappling with a cost- of-living crisis, where fuel costs continue to rise, efficiencies and data analytics are more crucial than ever.
If you’re still in the dark about how data can transform your operations, we’ve put together four ways it can change your business for the better:
Identify vehicle defects in real-time Using the CheckedSafe portal, you can use data analytics for real-time defect identification. This allows you to act swiftly, preventing minor issues from escalating into major problems that may have disrupted your operations and taken vehicles off the road.
Generate reports for future maintenance Data analytics can also provide predictive insights. Comprehensive reports can be generated to forecast future maintenance needs. This proactive approach helps effective planning and budgeting, reducing the financial strain of unexpected repairs.
HOW BUSINESS CAN SUPPORT T LEVELS
1. Offer industry placements to students, either on their own or in combination with another employer
2. Offer work tasters to help students decide whether to apply for an industry placement
3. Plan industry placements to provide meaningful work tasks and projects for students
4. Train and prepare staff to support and mentor students effectively throughout their time on industry placements.
5. Welcome students into the workplace and help them to become part of the team, giving them opportunities to develop valuable employability skills
6. Give frequent, regular feedback to students on their performance, including regular reviews of students’ progress and a final review at the end of the placement.
7. Write students a refence highlighting key aspects of their performance and achievements on the placement
8. Consider offering students a job when they complete their T Level qualification
Ensure proper compliance with GPS tags Compliance is a significant concern in fleet management. GPS tags can monitor the location of each vehicle, ensuring that compliance protocols, such as PMIs and daily checks, are being followed. This real-time oversight adds an extra layer of accountability and efficiency.
Mitigate risks of non-compliance Finally, non-compliance isn’t just a legal issue; it’s a financial one too. Fines and penalties can quickly accumulate, impacting the bottom line. Continuous monitoring through data analytics can mitigate the risks and costs associated with non-compliance.
In today’s challenging economic landscape, the benefits of data analytics in fleet management are simply too significant to ignore.
