Lloyds Bank has launched a new T-Levels programme in Bristol to boost digital skills and increase opportunities in banking in the South West.
The banking group's support for the qualification, which is the equivalent of three A-Levels, is part of its apprenticeship programme, which currently has more than 1,300 apprentices in roles from data and business analytics to software engineering and cyber security.
Nine students from Weston College and Strode College will start workplace placements on Lloyd's T-Level programme. Students will gain nine weeks of industry experience on a placement, paid for by Lloyds Banking Group, working at the business’s hub in Bristol.
