I have enjoyed team work and having fun creating things

Making things it was funny when things went wrong and we had to rethink our ideas.

I liked the whole event because it included hard work, teamwork and communication.

The first activity having to sell what we had made, it involved teamwork with people I don’t normally work with

It was a GREAT DAY

It really got us involved

It was fun and exciting I also liked working with other people

The part I found interesting was where you gave us the points on what employers look for, and the tips for completing CV’s and handling interviews correctly

When Mike and Pasky told us what employers would look for in job recruitment? It really helped as my mam is going into an interview on Friday so I could give her some extra tips

Well overall the whole day was utterly mind blowing. The informative challenges were so uniquely structured that anyone would take interest and learn a lot

I found the way Mike and Pasky gave the presentation interesting and captivating. It was a fun and energetic display. It was also very well thought out and rehearsed
