Webinar Outline:
An assessment centre is where you complete a combination of tasks and activities that test your suitability for a graduate job. You'll have the chance to demonstrate a wider range of skills than you would have been able to during a traditional face-to-face interview.
In the first online event for 2023, Grassroots Graduates is hosting "Assessment Centres 101" - an opportunity to get an overview of what to expect at an assessment centre, learn some tips and tricks to help you land that dream job, and to ask any questions you may have.
This webinar will be lead by Oris Ikomi. Oris is a Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion consultant bridging the gap between organisations and talents from Black and minority ethnic backgrounds. He has worked with leading brands in the private, public, third sector, and UK universities to engage and attract talents from Black, Asian, and Minority ethnic groups, and helps organisations develop DE&I strategies that are sustainable and fit for purpose. Oris has also carried out assessment centre preparation support for a number of organisations.
His interest in DE&I stems from both his professional and lived experience having relocated to the UK as a teenager from Nigeria. When he is not working, Oris spends his past time reading books about psychology, the mind, and metaphysics.
Please note that this webinar will not be recorded.
