Form the Future work with students to help them develop employability skills and careers awareness. It is seeking volunteers to go into schools and carry out mock interviews with people aged 14-17 to help prepare them for the world of work.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- you get the chance to meet other volunteers, get out of the house and visit different schools;
- you can boost your interview skills and get some practice for whenever you might next have a job interview;
- you will support a young person through an important learning experience and boost their confidence speaking to adults.
