Learners will research what employment opportunities are available
in the local area and how they can meet an employer's requirements
by developing the necessary skill set. Young people will
prepare for and take part in a mock interview with external 'panel
members' and finally, develop an advice pack for school leavers to
prepare them for the world of work.
