Planning for adulthood for those with SEND – Warwickshire County Council

In January 2025 we had several employers who came in to the school to conduct mock interviews with Year 11 and Post 16.

We had employers from different companies such as National Grid, Warwickshire Police, Office for Environmental Protection, DWP, to name but a few.

The students were nervous but did a wonderful job, meeting with the employers and answering interview questions. They were given the opportunity to have more than one interview and some of the students went on to have 4 or 5!

The interviewers gave great feedback. Charlotte from National Grid said, “I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the variety of businesses that attended for the students to practise their interview skills.”

Conrad from the DWP said “Great to meet such lovely students who were so keen to engage with employers.”

It was amazing also to hear the students asking the interviewers about their company and the job that they do.
