It includes comprehensive interview workshops and mock interviews, designed to prepare students for real-world job interviews. “We will conduct face-to-face workshops to teach vital interview skills and techniques. Following these workshops, we will return to each school to conduct mock interviews,” explained Philip Lynch, Marketing Officer at Cara Credit Union. “The interview panels will consist of Mary Lucey of Career Ahead and experienced Cara Credit Union staff, who will provide students with constructive feedback.”

An integral part of the initiative is a budgeting workshop, aimed at educating students on financial literacy. “For many students, this may be their first experience receiving an income from a part-time job. We are here to teach them the importance of saving and managing their money wisely,” added Lynch.

Additionally, Cara Credit Union is promoting its FREE globally accepted MasterCard Debit Card for students. “It’s crucial for anyone receiving an income to keep their money safe. We are informing students that they can open a FREE Cara Credit Union current account, which includes a globally accepted MasterCard Debit Card and other fantastic features to ensure their money is secure,” Lynch highlighted.
