TRIPs are an opportunity for providers and other stakeholders to work together to produce resources that will support the planning and delivery of T Levels.
TRIPs are suitable for teachers, managers, and specialist staff and can also benefit from the involvement of wider stakeholders such as employers, Awarding Organisations and Higher Education Institutions.
TRIPs are available as pre-agreed projects that will lead to the development of resources to support teaching, learning, and assessment for T Levels.
Providers involved in the delivery of T Levels are eligible to apply. Projects are funded to support staff capacity
