Employability skills gained with His Majesty’s Revenue Customs HMRC

Employment and further education can be a daunting prospect for any young person in the normal education system. Spare a thought for those young people having either left or been failed by a state education system and then they found themselves in an Alternative Provision educational setting.
AP’s working in conjunction with HMRC providing a range of experts and guest speakers, looking at different parts of their business portfolio, then offering employability skills and advice on how to succeed in an interview situation for prospective employment with the Civil Service. How to work in a team to overcome a challenge in a real-life scenario with the ability to work outside of their comfort zone to present information to a panel of experts. Students were assigned a mentor to offer support to individuals.
Three young ambassadors from NTC Alternative Provision found themselves in a final selection group, able to attend a few days at HMRC over the past academic year. They had access to TEAMS mentor presentations. The information and skills helped to give the students the abilities to make an interactive team presentation, whilst competing against other AP students in a Dragon’s Den style process.
The photograph shows the students attending a work experience day at HMRC in May 2023, preparing for their big team presentation to a mixed board of senior personnel, before they leave school at the end of June 2023.
