Mock Interview day 11th July 2023
On the 11th July the College welcomed over 80 people from 60 different businesses to take part in the Y10 Mock Interview Day. What a day it was with fantastic feedback from students and our business people. We are so lucky to have so many willing partners who once again donated some fantastic prizes including an iPad and a Laptop for the students who not only provided a great CV but also impressed our business people.
