Preparing for interview

Haringey Adult Learning Service (HALS) runs English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses. Learners on the ESOL pathfinder course attend a core programme of literacy, numeracy, ESOL and computer skills. Learners attend work tasters and work placements when and if appropriate.

In the sequence, we join the learners as they are preparing for a work-based interview role play.
