On March 5th, 2024, our Year 13 Business Students at Darwen Aldridge Enterprise Studio demonstrated exceptional dedication and skill by participating in a series of mock interviews. This practical application of their workshop knowledge saw them switch roles between interviewer and interviewee, preparing essential documentation like job adverts, job descriptions, and more. Their efforts culminated in recorded interviews that provided valuable feedback for personal and professional growth. Well done to all involved for embracing this invaluable experience during #nationalcareersweek
