We were delighted to welcome Cara Credit Union to our school last week as part of their fantastic ‘CU Through Your Interview’ initiative! 👏

The programme began in September with an Interview and CV Workshop, giving our Transition Year students valuable advice and guidance on preparing for the world of work.

This was followed by TY mock interviews on Thursday, 5th November, with Mary Lucey from Career Ahead and staff from Cara Credit Union. This provided students with a wonderful opportunity to put their interview skills into practice, build confidence and gain valuable experience in a real-life interview setting.
