Shape Your Future - Work & Skills Pathway: Interview Clinic
Shape Your Future – Work and Skills Pathway: Interview Skills Clinic is a practical, free, supportive workshop designed to help you build confidence and skills for job interviews.
In a small, friendly group, learners explore common interview questions such as ‘Tell me about yourself’ and learn practical techniques to structure answers, talk confidently about your experience, and present your skills clearly. The session provides tools and strategies that you can adapt to different roles and interview situations.
The workshop offers a relaxed environment where learners can practise, share ideas and learn from others, without pressure or judgement, as a key step towards employment or career change.
