Job seekers with Community Employment Services at Mohawk College can take advantage of a revolutionary service while preparing for their future careers, thanks to a new partnership with InStage, an AI-enabled virtual reality learning platform.

This partnership offers job seekers at Community Employment Services the opportunity to practice their job interview skills at their convenience using InStage AI-driven interview simulations that are entirely conversational, offering a fully personalized training experience. Job seekers can paste a job posting into InStage and a mock interview with questions tailored to that role is instantly generated. This unique feature allows participants to practice independently to gain useful feedback and gain confidence as they prepare for job interviews. The service enriches job seekers’ experience with their employment consultants during the training and job-searching process.

“Practice produces proficiency, and InStage for Mock Interviews gives job seekers the opportunity to independently practice the skills they learn from their employment consultants as they proceed with their job searches,” said Beth Gibson, Manager of Workforce Partnerships at Mohawk College. “The virtual interviewers assess responses, body language and the suitability of phrases and then provide instant feedback, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement at the end of the interview. Developing and practicing these skills allows the job seeker to improve their performance once they secure a job interview.”
