Tewkesbury Academy was delighted to welcome local businesses, education establishments, and valued friends of the academy to support our Year 10 students through a series of practice interviews this week.
As part of their career’s education, students had been preparing their CVs during lessons and received guidance on how to approach interviews and present themselves effectively. The event gave every student the opportunity to engage in a one-to-one interview with an experienced professional, who generously offered their time, insights, and recruitment advice.
Students rose to the occasion, presenting themselves with confidence and professionalism. The feedback from our visiting interviewers was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the students preparedness and attitude.
The interviewers, all experienced in recruitment and talent development, approached each session with kindness and encouragement, helping students build confidence and develop key communication and interpersonal skills
Sarah Baird, Careers Lead at Tewkesbury Academy, said: “We are incredibly grateful to all the professionals who volunteered their time to help our students.
“These practice interviews are invaluable in helping young people prepare for the world of work, and we are so proud of how well our students represented themselves and the school.
“The support from our wider community makes a real difference.”
Tewkesbury Academy extends sincere thanks to all who took part and looks forward to building on this successful event in future careers initiatives.
