Enterprise for Youth seeks volunteers to conduct mock interviews and informational interviews with youth, ages 14 to 21. These practice interviews are essential components of Enterprise for Youth's job readiness and paid internship program.

Volunteers conduct 1-on-1 mock interviews with two to three youth using a list of prepared questions and an evaluation form, then offer feedback on what went well and what could be improved for next time. Volunteers will then be interviewed by youth about their jobs and career journeys.

Enterprise for Youth has been a leader in youth workforce development in San Francisco since 1969. Providing paid internships and other employment opportunities for under-resourced youth is the core of our work. We serve over 500 young people annually, supporting them during high school and into their post-secondary school lives through job readiness training, paid work experiences in a variety of fields, sector-based skills training opportunities, financial literacy, leadership pathways, and ongoing career development and networking support.

Job Readiness Training includes up to 20 hours of training, in English or Spanish cohorts, covering professional communication skills, teamwork, time management, financial literacy, and interview skills. Youth create résumés and cover letters and practice communication skills in a series of mock interviews with supportive volunteer interviewers. Job readiness training provides youth with practical job preparedness skills, as well as the soft skills critical to workplace success. Youth earn a $125 stipend for completing the training and are eligible for Enterprise paid work experience programs.

On June 11 from 9:00 am- 11:30 am, we will run a morning of mock interviews for our Automotive/ Heavy Duty Technician participants. During this part of our program, we invite staff and volunteers to take on the role of "interviewers" to simulate the real-life process and best prepare participants from our Automotive/Heavy Duty Technician program for their upcoming job searches. Mock Interviews help participants to practice answering tough questions, enhance their communication skills, and offers an opportunity for them to receive feedback on how they can improve before they begin their individual job searches.

Each mock interview will be about 20 minutes with a few minutes after for interviewers to provide feedback to the participants. After signing up volunteers will be sent volunteer job descriptions, paperwork, and additional info to help prepare them for the mock interview process.
The event takes place in person at Momentum's program space in the Radisson Heights neighbourhood in Calgary just a few minutes walk from the Franklin LRT station. There is also parking onsite.
