Name
Enzo Guarini
Role
Esports HE Pathway Leader at Barnsley College University Centre
“The biggest benefit of working for Barnsley College has been the support I have received to advance my career and develop my skills as a teacher and leader. I first started working for the College through my PGCE studies, I then secured a VH contract, and after just 2 years I was able to secure a permanent teaching contract. The support I've had from the College has given me the confidence, and skills to develop a more bespoke curriculum that offers more tailored courses for our students.”
