TopLine Financial Credit Union Helps High School Students With Job Readiness

TopLine Participates in Osseo Senior High School Mock Interviews

TopLine Financial Credit Union, a Twin Cities-based member-owned financial services cooperative, participated in Osseo Senior High School’s mock interview day, a training exercise that simulates a real-life job interview.   Eight TopLine employees volunteered their time to interview Osseo High School students to help prepare them for post-secondary education options, future career exploration and to develop interviewing skills.

Nearly 800 students participated in Osseo High School’s mock interview program which aims to give students practice applying and interviewing for jobs. Over the course of 2 hours, eight TopLine employees conducted a “mock interview” with students asking them education and career related questions. TopLine Financial Credit Union has supported the local Osseo Area Schools in several ways including mock interviews, career days, personal finance education efforts and donation drives.   

"We are glad to partner with our neighbor, Osseo Senior High School, and have several employees participate as mock interviewers to assist students with personal growth and professional development,” said Mick Olson, TopLine President and CEO. “This is a great opportunity for students to learn new skills through practice interviews, and emerge more confident and prepared for the real-world interviews."
