The world of work came to LCHS this week with 46 businessmen and women from across Lincoln spending the morning with our Year 10 students.

Year 10 had the rare opportunity to take part in a mock interview. Local businesses gave up their time to conduct 1-1 mock interviews in order to prepare our pupils for the real deal.
Students spent the day in smart interview clothes and had prepared to get the most out of the day by writing a C.V and a letter of application.
Ali Foley, LCHS Work Related Learning Co-ordinator, said “Our pupils really have taken this experience seriously. Their commitment and preparation of CVs and letters of application have been overwhelming and the overall standard excellent, partly because of the support of our brilliant tutors. Everyone has certainly risen to the challenge.”
Local employer support has been fantastic and all involved have made this an event to remember by making the interviews as near to “real life” as possible.
Mrs Foley went on to add that “...pupils were interviewed for approximately ten minutes each. They were then assessed and valuable feedback was given to each individual, therefore equipping them with hints and tips for future successful interviews and preparing them for the world of work. Their next big challenge is Work Experience in July and I have every confidence that our pupils will all be very successful during that week.”
