Your Job Search in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Just Got Better

Meet career adviser Ahmadou. 

I have been a Careers Adviser for over 5 years, I am passionate about helping young people make their dreams a reality through education, employment or training. I hope to inspire them by sharing my own journey to becoming a multilingual adviser. I’d like to show young people that when given the appropriate guidance, they too can achieve their goals.   

I have travelled around the globe and occupied several job roles from being a gardener to where I am today.  I have always sought to support the needs of the local community wherever I have found myself in life.  

I am fluent in French, English, Arabic, Malinke and conversational in Malay.  Being able to converse in several languages has made me a very broad-minded individual, who is always looking to increase my knowledge.  It has undoubtedly been a useful tool when I have worked with refugees and asylum seekers. 

Meet Paul, a fully qualified Careers adviser working on multiple contracts across the organisation.

Whats the best part of your job?

A bit broad and possibly cliché, but making a difference which will have a possibly unfathomable ripple effect to the service user, and those who I will never meet like there family, friends and future employer and colleges whom this customer goes onto be a more actualised and positive force to those around them. 

What's something we dont know about you?

When I was a kid I was a massive comic book nerd, before Disney made it cool. Never letting go of this passion for modern day mythology I have gone onto amass a rare comic collection that would have made 'adult me' my 'child me's' hero. ha, For the same reason I do this job I also donate blood when I get the opportunity and I'm the very proud father of two amazing girls.
