A well-established activity within our club that strives to promote skills sharing between Rotarians and those pupils entering the job market. The initiative was extended last year to include Rotarians helping in classroom sessions as well as carrying out the usual interviews.

Everyone knows, in today’s economic climate, just how difficult it can be to secure that first job almost regardless of level of qualification. To give the youth in our community the best possible chance suitable Rotarians have for many years held mock interviews at the local secondary schools (now combined into Levenmouth Academy). The practice interviews give the participants the opportunity to rehearse skills in a low risk interview environment.

In the last two years the club has extended its involvement with the Academy in this initiative by attending some of the tutorial classes and helping the pupils produce better quality documents like personal statements , CV’s, covering letters etc all of which are key to the preparation of applying and interviewing for a job. These preparation steps were able to be carried out for 2019/2020 but due to the Coronavirus interviews had to be cancelled.

Many clubs have struggled with this initiative for a number of reasons such as lack of interest by the school, reduced numbers of participants, lack of club resources to organise and support such an event etc. The Rotary Clun of Leven believes that this is a very worthwhile initiative and brings great benefits to the pupils in what is an area of significant deprivation.

All participants get a participation certification which can help with their CV portfolio.
