Check it out the members of the Reading Youth Council (RYC) learning how to answer almost any question during a job interview!
On November 28, 2023, I had the honor of joining the members of the Reading Youth Council (RYC) at the Reading Council Office. This group comprises students from various secondary schools across our city. Their engagement, enthusiasm, and the diverse range of topics they discussed were truly impressive. These young individuals are eager to have their voices heard, influencing decision-makers on critical issues such as education, health, transportation, and security.
Supported by the University of Reading and Bodyswaps, I conducted a workshop and provided a Virtual Reality experience, teaching students effective strategies for answering a wide array of questions during job interviews.
The feedback was extraordinary:
" Fantastic experience, very insightful"
*Loved this, it helped me improve my confidence and knowledge"
"It was really fun and should definitely be included in schools"
I am glad to have provided to these young people the opportunity to be in contact with the technology, the digital human avatars and the AI empowering them to be interactive by contextualising the interactions with learners.
I look forward to expand our outreach to more young people and professionals across Berkshire!
