Year 13s get Career-Ready with mock employment interviews

Held across the course of the day, fifty interview slots were quickly filled by enthusiastic students eager to gain practical experience.

Each student participated in a professional-style job interview, providing them with valuable insights into the interview process, enhancing their communication skills, and giving them real-world practice.

The aim was to help Year 13s in building their confidence for future opportunities when pursuing employment: whether they wish to take those next steps via university, a gap year, an apprenticeship or something else. In November, the team also organised 270 mock entry interviews in November for students who are applying to university.

"Hills Road is committed to providing students with practical experiences that enhance their readiness for the professional world, no matter what path they choose," explains Bekki Clark, Head of Careers.
