Supporting Local Schools
Supporting local schools is an investment in the future workforce and leaders of our community. These institutions play a vital role in shaping the minds of our young people, providing them with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to succeed in an ever-changing landscape.
Career Development Support
This includes talks/workshops in local schools, CV writing workshops and mock interviews. School talks/workshops give an understanding of and an insight into career opportunities available both on-and off-site.
These provide information on the type of skills required, with the chance to meet experienced professionals who answer questions and talk about vocational courses they can consider, including those that are part-funded.
Mock interviews provide constructive feedback, giving them experience and guidance to understand what is expected in real-life situations which improves their self-presentation.
