Practice Interviews
Practice Interviews aim to motivate students and develop their interview and communication skills. The programme gives students the chance to meet employers, discuss ideas and gain an insight into the selection process in their future training and career.
Normally held in school and occasionally at an employer's premises, each interview lasts 20-30 minutes and is followed by written and verbal feedback that encourages students to examine their own achievements and improve their future performance.
