National Careers Week
During National Careers week (7-11 March 2022), we will be placing a spotlight on local employers within our key labour market sectors.
- Healthcare
- Hospitality
- ICT
- Engineering
- Construction
We plan to host virtual sessions which explore the vast range of roles and skills required within each sector.
There will be testimonials from existing employees, along with information from local education providers about the courses they offer to support entering the specified sectors.
Resources will be created which are linked to each sector and core theme to ensure that these virtual sessions are meaningful.
The opportunity to pose questions will go out to all employers in the run up to the events to ensure those participating in delivering the information can answer them during the pre-recorded videos.

Case Study - Year 10 Mock Interviews
The Life Ready Work Ready Team and representatives from the Navy, Prince Personnel, SG Business Consultancy and West Midlands Fire and Rescue visited Idsall School in Shifnal to take part in Year 10 mock interviews.
Each representative interviewed willing students from 8 different tutor groups. All students engaged well and did an excellent job in answering the questions.
The remaining students in the class acted as an interview panel providing peer reviews to each interview candidate, discussed the best answers and also what could have been improved upon.
We would like thank the staff at Idsall for the hospitality and the Careers Lead, Lucy Kendall, for persisting with providing a meaningful careers programme for the students of Idsall school.
We would also like to thank the representatives who volunteered their time to support this event.
Your input and support is invaluable and we look forward to working with you and other representatives again soon.
Our next Mock interview event will take place in early January at Meole Brace School, Shrewsbury and we would appreciate any help to support this.
Testimonials
"At first I thought it was very nerve wracking but there was a great energy in the room. After a while I found it quite calming and it was very useful. I hope I can use the experience for my future interviews as it was very insightful and just a great experience. I recommend anyone to do it as it will help you too."
Harvey
‘I found it really insightful. I was very nervous but the interviewer made it really calm and really comfortable and I had a great time, it will really help me in the future’.
Maia
"The event was brilliant, both students and staff thought the interviewers were excellent and the response from students was superb. Meeting volunteers from real businesses has made such a difference and has really helped students to see the value of the sessions they have been doing this term. It was a great opportunity for students to step outside their comfort zone and challenge themselves. The feedback they were given was brilliant too and I’m confident that all students, observers and interviewees will be able to use what they have learned in their future interviews. Thank you for helping to arrange such an excellent event."
