An employability programme, by employers

Hand Picked for Schools is a series of workshops that help teach pupils how to market and promote themselves effectively to an employer.

Using expertly designed lesson plans, workbooks and teaching guides, these workshops are delivered by local employers in collaboration with teaching staff.

Covering job search, CV writing and interview skills, the role of employers in delivering Hand Picked for Schools is pivotal to the transition from school to employment.

By building knowledge and awareness of local jobs - and the kind of people in them – together we give school leavers the confidence to successfully compete on the jobs market.
