Employability Workshops

These workshops aim to connect young people with employers from various businesses, allowing them to discuss potential job opportunities and the pathways to achieve them. This interaction can inspire the participants and help them understand the diverse opportunities available to them. The atmosphere is relatively informal, primarily providing a space for young people to engage with employers from different sectors, potentially helping them unlock their full potential. This represents a genuine chance to positively impact the lives of these young individuals.

Additionally, the workshops may feature mock interviews and other activities that business volunteers feel comfortable participating in! we can support you with planning these.
