KC Stars – Staff Awards 2025
On Monday 27 January, Kirklees College hosted its KC Star Awards at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield to recognise the outstanding achievements of our inspirational teaching team and exceptional business support staff who go above and beyond to support our students.

What is an industry placement?
A key aspect of all T Levels is the completion of an extended industry placement. Lasting for a minimum of 45 days (315 hours) industry placements are high quality, meaningful, and relevant to the T Level programme.
They offer the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge and skills learnt in the classroom, and provide practical hands-on training in a real work environment.

What are the benefits?
- T Levels take two years and are the equivalent to 3 A Levels
- You’ll go beyond acquiring basic knowledge and understanding, the T Levels are higher level study and skills
- You’ll receive up to 168 UCAS points for university

What are T Levels?
A T Level is a two-year technical education course for 16-19 year olds that follow GCSEs and one T Level is equivalent to three A Levels. T Levels have been co-designed with over 250 global and leading employers specifically to gain the knowledge and skills that employers need for the jobs of the future.
