Interview Skills Day
Interview Skills Day offers a fantastic chance for people to practice and develop interview skills, to familiarise themselves with the interview process, and to increase overall confidence.
Participants will take part in interactive activities designed to develop key interview skills, such as:
- Confidence
- Creative thinking
- Presentation skills
- Framing experience and using STAR
They will also get the opportunity to have a 1:1 mock interview and gain feedback.
I really liked the way we were supported in small groups and given time to reflect, practice and share. Also the way the session was delivered was amazing.
[My volunteer] was fantastic and made me feel at ease and worthy of gaining employment, which I was not feeling.
I feel more confidence of how to answer the questions at an interview and feeling more prepared.

Communication Skills Day
We run a one-day Communications Skills Day where you can gain insight into the professional world, developing your public speaking skills and building confidence in the process.
You will be paired with a corporate volunteer who will coach you to build your confidence in public speaking and communication as you work together on a short presentation throughout the day. You will then deliver this back to the group, putting your new communication skills into practice!
I never thought I could talk in front of more than ten people in English. After this programme, especially today, I believe I can do it and I am ready for my next journey.
