Josephine Calabrese
Careers & Progression Coordinator
I provide career information, advice, guidance and coaching to prospective students and students on college programmes. I lead on university applications and personal statements; CV writing and interview skills. I coordinate various activities including tailored internship programs and training aimed at inspiring and motivating students to achieve their full potential and gain sustainable employment.
Fionnula Dainty
Careers & Employability Development Officer
My role at the college is based around ensuring that students develop their employability skills throughout the year, so that when they leave, they can progress into work, university or an apprenticeship. I help students develop their confidence in workshops, take them on trips to meet universities or to careers fairs, help with CVs, improve interview skills and support the students with their UCAS applications. I love helping students positively move into the next stage of their lives.
