A HOST of Bridgwater employers recently gave up their time to provide Year 10 students at Robert Blake Science College with crucial employability skills. 

The initiative is part of an ongoing calendar of activities carried out by the CSW Group on behalf on the Bridgwater Education Trust.

The initiative brings employers into the classroom so that they can mentor young people in the art of applications, interviews and the chance to gain top tips direct from those who may one day be their boss. 

James Tuckett, commercial manager for the One Step Foundation, was particularly impressed by the enthusiasm of the young people.

“It was a great event, loads of energy and interaction from the students, especially during the mock interviews," he said.
