OSC Careers Team - Helen Gono, Interim Careers Lead

Helen Gono

Interim Senior Careers and Industry Placement Lead (College Group)

Email: hgono@esc.ac.uk
Phone: 01737 7712611 

 

As the Interim Senior Careers and Industry Placement lead, my role is to manage a team of Careers Advisors and a Work Placement Coordinator across three campuses who work closely with curriculum supporting those furthest away from employment to those who are nearest.  We ensure that all students have opportunities to meet and hear from employers who may inspire them in their future careers. 

I have worked in curriculum as an Assistant Principal, Director and Vice Principal with responsibility for careers, work experience and engagement with employers as a part of each role.  I have extensive experience working in FE and HE and a strong understanding of what is needed to inspire learners in their next steps.  I have been the T Level lead in my last 2 colleges and have worked extensively in ensuring students have a meaningful industrial placement. 

Through managing SEND in the past I have worked with local specialist schools and charities, through managing technical and vocational education I have worked with key employers and apprenticeship providers.  I enjoy working with external organisations from charities to big corporates.  I have worked with MPs, DfE, and employers across South London, Surrey and Hampshire. 

There are many students who need our help so there is nothing more satisfying than when you have supported a learner along their career journey and through a work experience placement into a job, uni or an apprenticeship.
