In today's tough labour market school leavers
need good presentation and communication skills to help them get
a job.
We can arrange for a local employer to come into school and hold ‘Employability
Interviews’ with YOUR students. This will prepare them for
a successful real life interview, help develop their skills and give
them a clear understanding of the recruitment process.
How do they work?
Training Session:
In preparation for the Employability Interview Liverpool Compact EBP can come into school and hold an 'Interview Preparation Session' with YOUR students during a PSHE or Careers lesson. The session will highlight to the students the importance of making a good impression and what employers are looking for from a candidate.
We will agree convenient dates with you. We then invite
a number of employers to conduct Employability Interviews
at
your school.
Prior to the interviews we will provide you with
standard application forms for each student to complete or as
more employers are
now requesting on line applications you may prefer
for them to complete
one on line.
One is available on this page by clicking
on the ‘on line application
forms’ button.
An employer then comes to school and will hold a
half-hour interview with each student. The interview
is usually
based around the
contents of the application form.
After the interview the employer will offer feedback
on the student's performance to give them an
understanding of their
strengths
and weaknesses in the areas of communication,
general demeanour,
academic
achievements etc.
Benefits to young people
- Increases self-awareness and confidence
- Develops an understanding of the recruitment
process
- Improves self-presentation and communication
skills
"I have been both surprised and delighted
by the effect it has had on students. It has given a noticeable boost
to their
self-confidence and to their determination to succeed in life."
