Employability skills with Skills House
Last week, James and Scarlett from @skillshousebradford came to talk to our PI's (Pre-interns) about Employability Skills.
You might wonder what this has to do with baked beans!
They began by discussing what roles a company (such as Heinz) could offer someone, which interns may never have thought to consider.
For example, for Heinz to make and sell 2 billion tins of beans in the UK, they need:
- Farmers to grow and pick the beans.
- Drivers to transport them to the factory.
- Cooks.
- Mechanics to keep the machines in order.
- Canners.
- Labellers.
- Packers/ Loaders.
- Stock controllers.
- Supermarket staff.
- Many other roles in Admin, Quality checking, Marketing, and Manufacturing.
James and Scarlett then went on to discuss interview techniques and how to present yourself in a positive light to a potential employer.
The interns were empowered to think about their personal Skills, Strengths and Qualities that employers could look for when hiring.
