Event description

Young Enterprise Employability Masterclass - Covering CV writing and personal branding

Our Employability Masterclass allows young people to construct a CV and think about how they want to promote themselves to future employers.

We'd like you to share your career story and also your experience of recruitment and applying for jobs.

10 minutes in each classroom ‘telling a story’ about their career journey:
• What inspired them to choose their career path
• Why they find it high impact
• What they enjoy most about their career
• What subjects did the study and what decisions did they make along the way
• What mistakes did they make and how did they learn from them
• What skills is their company currently looking for in their new hires

These meaningful encounters inspire students and have a positive impact on their future life choices.
