OC Panel Sparks Career Inspiration

Pictured from left to right is Abayomi, Bina, and Rocco

Last week, three OCs from the Class of 2011 returned to School to inspire the next generation during a Year 13 Careers Q&A Panel. 

Abayomi Epega (HG 2011), Bina Edwards (HG 2011) and Rocco Hale-Leighton (GH 2011) shared their career journeys with such honesty and enthusiasm. Their insights and experiences gave pupils a real sense of the diverse opportunities that await beyond School. 

Rocco shared his experience all the way from being an EA to a CEO to now working as a Partnership Development at the NFL. Bina gave insight of her career journey from being an Investment Partner to now working as an UK Commercial Director at Holie's. Abayomi spoke on his experience of being a Product Specialist and Engineer and his career growth to now being a Technology, Architecture & Product Management Stealth Startup. 

This panel was the final careers session for these Y13s before they join the OC Society in the summer. We can’t wait to see what they go on to do and see them at future OC Events 

Are you passionate about inspiring the next generation? School would love to hear your career story! There are plenty of opportunities for OCs to support School’s current pupils as they explore their future pathways. If you’d like to get involved, please contact careers@highgateschool.org.uk
