Henrico Mock Interviews :: Henrico Mock Interviews :: Today’s Students are the Workforce of Tomorrow - Realizing that internships and work experiences often open the doors to better job opportunities and greater success in college, the Henrico Business Council partnered with the Henrico Education Foundation to offer mock interviews at J. R. Tucker High School and Henrico High School. The mock interview program is designed to provide students the opportunity to practice their interview skills and benefit from feedback from the actual business community.

Twenty-five business volunteers offered their business expertise and guidance conducting interviews with 71 students at Henrico High School in January. Interviews were also held in February at J. R. Tucker High School providing the opportunity for 43 students to participate in more than 175 interviews.
