The initiative aimed to prepare students for their next steps beyond school, whether that be college, apprenticeships, or entering the world of work. Throughout the week, students experienced real-life interview scenarios, giving them the opportunity to practise and refine key techniques such as presenting themselves professionally, answering competency-based questions, and reflecting on their skills and aspirations. This invaluable experience not only boosted students’ confidence but also gave them practical insight into what to expect in future interviews. The week was a real success, with students praising the experience and the confidence it gave them in preparing for life after school. Staff and interviewers alike commented on how well-prepared and engaged the students were throughout the process. Woodhey High School would like to extend sincere thanks to Paul and Carole who co-ordinated the week, and the many organisations and professionals who generously gave their time to support our students and help prepare them for their future. These included: **Garic Costain Bury Council Vision Education Bolton College NHS Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance Bury Voluntary, Community & Faith Alliance (VCFA) Bury Leisure Centre (Bury MBC) Academy Council Bury College Ada Digital College Hopwood Hall College Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service The Collective Community Trust Lancashire County Council Northern Trains NHS Health Research Authority Balfour Beatty Lycar Education Persona CBF Consulting Ltd Holy Cross College NHS Greater Manchester Vital Energi** Thank you once again to everyone involved for helping make this experience a valuable and memorable one for our students.
