Mercy Health staff recently volunteered their time to help run a day of mock interviews for Year 9 students as part of an initiative through The Smith Family and Wyndham Central College. Each volunteer was paired with students for one-on-one practice interviews designed to build confidence and prepare them for part-time work. There were even some handshake practices!
Cara Kerr, Learning and Development Advisor, summed up the experience, which reinforced the power of practical learning and the importance of supporting youth development beyond the classroom.
“Exposure to real-world skills like interviewing can make a significant difference in a young person’s confidence and abilities,” she said.
We hope to see some of these students pursuing careers with Mercy Health themselves one day, joining our staff of 10,000+ dedicated professionals who are compassionate, tough and have a whole lot of heart! Find out more about what working with Mercy can look like: https://bit.ly/4iDX8o7
