A brand new interactive AI tool designed to develop students’ interview techniques has been launched.
Interview Coach is a first for colleges across the country and has been developed by Stoke on Trent College in partnership with award-winning Adaptive-Media.
The interview simulator technology responds to user behaviour detecting facial expressions to sense attention, energy levels, mood and positivity and gives feedback on key areas for improvement – providing a fully immersive, interactive learning experience.
It also protects the users privacy and works on a range of online devices (including PCs laptops, and tablets).
Lisa Capper MBE, Stoke on Trent College Principal and CEO, said: “This is ground breaking technology and will give our learners the unique opportunity to develop strong interview skills which will prepare them for the world of work. At Stoke on Trent College our focus is on ensuring that all learners leave us skills ready, future ready and we are really excited to see the benefits this new partnership will bring.”
The implementation of Interview Coach is a key part of the College’s careers strategy and commitment to provide good quality impartial information, advice, guidance and a comprehensive careers education programme.
Jeff Howson, Education & Soft Skills Director (Adaptive-Media Ltd) said: “It is a real privilege and pleasure to represent Adaptive-Media Ltd when implementing Interview Coach at Stoke on Trent College.
“I look forward to working with staff and students both now and in the future to help to improve employability skills through the use of our innovate technology format. We expect to see a marked improvement in attention, positivity, resilience and self-confidence as a direct result of implementing Interview Coach.”
