A group of professionals known as Proactive recently held a series of highly beneficial mock interviews and CV workshops for Year 11 and 12 students at Etone College. The event aimed to equip the students with essential skills for their future careers and university applications.

The Proactive group, which specialises in career development and employability skills, provided a hands-on learning experience designed to prepare young people for the competitive job market. Throughout the morning, students were given the opportunity to participate in mock interviews with industry experts, allowing them to gain valuable feedback on their interview techniques, presentation, and overall confidence.

In addition to the mock interviews, Proactive hosted a workshop focused on CV writing. The session provided students with practical advice on how to craft standout CVs, tailored to various job sectors and university applications.

Teachers at Etone College were also pleased with the success of the event. Mrs Barlow, Head of Careers, commented: "This has been a fantastic opportunity for our students. It’s so important that they understand what employers and universities are looking for, and the Proactive group has delivered a very insightful and engaging session. We hope to continue these collaborations to further support our students’ futures."

Proactive’s visit to Etone College is part of a wider initiative to engage with schools and colleges across the UK, helping young people gain essential employability skills. The group’s commitment to supporting the next generation of professionals is evident, and their recent workshop is expected to have a lasting impact on the students of Etone College.

As the job market continues to evolve, it is events like these that help young people bridge the gap between their education and their professional aspirations, giving them the confidence and skills needed to succeed in an increasingly competitive environment.
