Virtual Employer Encounters were popularised throughout the pandemic to support school-age students to access careers education whilst learning remotely.
This unique, scalable and accessible method of offering insights into a range of sectors, companies and roles soon expanded for learners of all ages and career stages.
A Virtual Employer Encounter could involve:
-
Interviews and Fireside Chats with employers and recruiters from sectors that interest you
-
Insights into ‘a day in the life’ of an employee
-
Snapshots of company and industry culture and development opportunities
-
Practical tasks to align your strengths to the job and spot potential skills gaps
