Assessment centre practice for visually impaired students and grads!

Assessment centres are frequently used by big companies to recruit graduates or interns, so if you’re considering applying for a graduate scheme, getting assessment centres right matters. But it can be tough to know what to expect and how to start preparing for that all-important day.

 

That’s where Blind in Business has stepped up. Along with Thames Water and Energy & Utility Skills, Blind in Business are running four mock assessment centres to help blind or visually impaired students and graduates get Recruitment Ready. So prepare to ace those assessment centres!

In each session, you’ll complete interview practice with professional hiring managers, undertake a group task and deliver a presentation – practicing the three main tasks of assessment centres.
