Developing Future Technology Talent
Supporting Birmingham Metropolitan College (BMet) students with real-world technology and industry experience.
Developing Future Technology Talent Through T Level Industry Placements
Core Guard Group works with BMet students through T Level industry placements, providing practical exposure to software development, IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, access control, biometrics and security technology projects.
Our developers mentor students directly, exposing them to live development workflows, coding, Azure DevOps, Sentinel Access and real commercial technology environments.
Education Partnership with BMet
Core Guard Group works alongside Birmingham Metropolitan College (BMet) to support structured T Level industry placements in security technology, access control, software development and operational support. These relationships help bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world professional environments.
T Level Industry Placements
Students join supervised T Level industry placements designed to develop practical skills in a safe and structured setting. Placement activity takes place within non-live testing environments, ensuring students gain hands-on experience without exposure to live operational systems or sensitive data.
Professional Development & Future Pathways
We are committed to professional development at every stage, from foundational awareness through to advanced technical understanding. We support future training pathways that align with the evolving demands of the security technology sector, helping students build careers in access control, systems integration and operational support.
