Last week, 63 College students got themselves ‘interview-ready’ by taking part in a specialist workshop run by Platform7teen – an employability and life skills charity. Students prepared for, then practised, their verbal and non-verbal communications skills in group mock interviews.  

Ellen Walkinshaw Director of Progression said, “Thank you to the Platform7teen team for delivering such engaging and impactful sessions. It was great to see our students grow in confidence over the course of their role-play experience.”

Students taking part commented:

“It was really fun – nice to focus on real-world skills and experience!”

“It made interviews seem less scary – it’s just a set of steps and rules to follow.”

“It was really entertaining watching the role play.”
