Year 11 Learn Skills To Pay The Bills At Careers Day

Students had the opportunity to take part in a series of workshops that focused on some of the key topics relating to higher education and the world of work, such as university life and the pay index – what students can expect to earn at the start of their careers.

There were also sessions that supported students with their CV writing, revision and interview skills.

Every student was invited to take part in a mock job interview during the day, which involved staff from local businesses asking them questions before giving feedback on how they improve when it comes to the real deal.

Mrs Thandi, CEIAG co-ordinator, said: “The day was a huge success and it was lovely to see our Year 11s all dressed so smartly for their interviews.

“The mock interviews will hopefully give our students invaluable experience as they prepare for life after secondary school, and the skills they have picked up today will support them in doing exactly that.”
