National electrical contractor Clarkson Evans is working with social enterprise Commercial Foundation to help young people who havepreviously encountered barriers to employment to help boost their chances of finding a job.

Young people on Commercial Foundation’s No Limits training and mentoring programme will take part in mock interviews at Clarkson Evans’ head office in Gloucester. The interviews replicate the real world as far as possible, with the ‘candidates’ preparing and submitting CVs and cover letters, liaising with the HR department and researching the company in readiness for the interview. Following the interview, the young people are given constructive feedback.
