How to get MyDirections

Whether you are a school or college in Calderdale or Kirklees or from an institution further afield, MyDirections will provide students from Years 7 to 13 with the information they need to make informed career decisions. You can use MyDirections to monitor and assess the career readiness of your students and tailor career activities to meet their needs. Using MyDirections also helps provide evidence for quality assessments of your careers provision, such as Gatsby Benchmarks, the Quality in Careers Standard and Ofsted. 

When first using MyDirections, students complete a simple assessment of their career readiness and their subject, route and sector preferences. This means they receive careers content matched to their choices, their year group - and also tailored to the time of year they are accessing the site. As this information is saved, it can be used to support career discussions with their adviser or others. For institutions, this information is invaluable in identifying those that may need extra support with their career decision-making, as well as helping to monitor student engagement with your careers education programme.
