"I would like to say a big thank you Pathway CTM who supported our students with the recent workshops. You did an amazing job. The Pathway presenter was brilliant, and students warmed to them immediately. Students were engaged from start to finish and asked lots of questions. It was good to see students practicing mock interviews using the 'STAR Method' which they had never used before. All sessions were so impactful. Students have come away with valuable insight which will help them to succeed in their up-and-coming interviews."
