This commitment to people is why collaborating with Exeter College for T Levels has been such an exciting journey. We spoke to the team at Situ, to find out more. 

Discovering T Levels 

When we first heard about T Levels, we saw an incredible opportunity to partner with local educational institutions and nurture young talent. After engaging with Exeter College’s enthusiastic team, we participated in a pitch and interview day. It was a smooth and inspiring process that led us to welcome Tom (pictured middle of back row), a Business T Level student, to Situ. 

The Value of a T Level Placement 

Having a T Level student has brought fresh perspectives and valuable support to our team. Tom’s eagerness to learn has enabled us to dive deeper into certain projects while maintaining our dedication to clients, suppliers, and guests. It’s a win-win: Tom gains hands-on experience in the corporate world, and we benefit from his skills and enthusiasm. 

Tom’s Role at Situ 

Tom has contributed to a variety of tasks across our Guest Care and Supply Chain departments, including administrative and data-led projects. He’s also shadowed other teams to gain a comprehensive understanding of how our business operates. 

Building Skills for the Future 

One of the most rewarding aspects of this experience has been watching Tom develop professionally. By collaborating with different departments and experiencing the day-to-day rhythm of an office, he’s gained insights into teamwork and corporate goal-setting. His exceptional communication and writing skills, combined with his quick learning ability, make him stand out as a future star. 

Why We Recommend T Level Placements 

Hosting a T Level student has been a fantastic experience for Situ. It’s an opportunity to give back to the local community, support young people as they start their careers, and create a pipeline of future talent. Our advice to other employers? Don’t underestimate these students’ potential! Give them diverse opportunities, and you’ll be amazed at how they rise to the occasion. 

What’s Next? 

Would we host another T Level student? Supporting local students aligns perfectly with our goals of nurturing talent and fostering collaboration so we hope we can continue this in the future. 

If you’re a student interested in joining us at Situ, we’d love to hear from you!
