🌟Alumni Spotlight: Josh Baker 🌟 As we celebrate T Level Week, we're proud to spotlight our former student, Josh Barker, who attended Sandwell Academy from 2017-2022 and is now working as a Civil Engineer with Balfour Beatty on the HS2 project. Josh is a perfect example of the opportunities that T Levels can provide. After finishing Year 11 at Sandwell Academy, he progressed to a T Level at Thomas Telford UTC, where he secured an industry placement that led to him being offered a full-time role with the company. T Levels are designed to combine classroom learning with meaningful industry experience, and Josh's success demonstrates the real impact they can have in helping young people transition into skilled careers. We are incredibly proud of everything Josh has achieved and look forward to seeing where his career takes him next. #SandwellAcademy #AlumniSpotlight #TLevelWeek #TLevels #StudentSuccess #CivilEngineering #HS2 #CareersEducation #EmployerEngagement #ProudToBeSA #FutureReady
