CAN YOU HELP OUR YEAR 10 STUDENTS WITH CV AND INTERVIEW SKILLS?
Following previous successful events, we will be holding the ‘Get Set for Success’ Employability Day for Year 10 students during Enrichment Week and are looking for business mentors to work with small groups.
This year it will be on Wednesday 27th June, with two sessions running, one in the morning (9an – 11.30am) and one in the afternoon (1.30pm – 3.45pm) . Each will be two hours long. Mentors can choose to help out at one or both of these sessions, which are supervised at all times by a team of staff.
