TARGETcareers School Leavers' Challenge Terms &

1. Eligibility

“Competition” is open to all students currently studying for A Levels or equivalent
at a UK school or Sixth Form College.

1.2 The Competition has two parts.

1.2.1 Part 1 is all online and requires students, hereinafter referred to as


"Participants", to register their details and then immediately proceed with the
online test and exercises.
1.2.1.1 Participants are only permitted one attempt at the online section of the
Competition and are unable to save their attempt once they have started. This
means Participants must register and complete the online section of the
Competition in one session. Participants that register more than once will be
disqualified as will entries that TARGETjobs Events, hereinafter referred to as the
“Competition Organiser”, suspects to be one of multiple attempts or against the
spirit of the terms and conditions.

1.2.1.2 There are 2 exercises to complete in order for a Participant to get a score
and appear on the Competition’s Leaderboard. Once an individual has started the
exercises they need to go on and complete them both in a single session, as they
only get one chance to provide their answers. Each test is preceded by clear on-
screen instruction of what is required and how the individual is to give their
answers.

1.2.1.3 Once a Participant has completed the two online exercises the candidate
will then be able to view their position on the leaderboard, and will receive an
email containing further information around work readiness.

1.2.1.4 If a Participant’s score remains one of the top 100 scores on the
Leaderboard during the period that the online exercises are open then they will be

Final”, which will be held in London on a date to be confirmed.

1.2.2.1 During registration on the day of the Grand Final, each Participant must
produce appropriate identification to confirm that they are currently studying at a
UK school or Sixth Form College. The identification produced must also match the
name registered at the start of the Competition online. If it doesn’t match or
appropriate identification cannot be produced then the Participant may still be
allowed to take part in the final but their score will not be eligible for any prizes or
a placing. A library card is considered to be an appropriate form of identification.

1.2.2.2 Lunch and refreshments throughout the day will be provided for
Participants. It is the Participant’s responsibility to notify the Competition
Organisers of any special dietary needs.

1.2.2.3 Participants at the final are expected to cover the cost of their own
transportation. Winners on the day will have their travel expenses reimbursed.

1.2.2.4 Each Participant at the Grand Final will be ranked and scored after each
exercise they take part in throughout the day. The person with the highest overall
score will win the TARGETcareers School Leavers’ Challenge and the prizes will
be presented.
