Testimonial

“St Helena relies on Directions to provide impartial careers advice and guidance, in line with Gatsby Benchmark requirements.

We have always been impressed by Laura’s dedication and commitment to supporting our young people.

Student feedback relating to one to one careers interviews with Laura has always been positive, with students stating that they feel well informed and prepared to consider post 16 options.

Without the backing of Directions, the St Helena Careers provision would not be as strong as it is, and for that we are thankful.”
