J-M Richardson

South Regional TAFE

“Thank you for your visiting the Certificate 1 in Gaining Access to Training and Employment students at Katanning South Regional TAFE today. We found the talk on resume’s and digital footprints informative and we really appreciated your industry and training specific information. Your delivery, as always is light and appealing to your target audience, as well as current. Once again, thank you for your time and continuing links with TAFE and our students.”

Bronwyn Bennett

Lecturer Nursing, Central Regional TAFE

“Our graduating students were lucky enough to spend time with the Northam Directions team preparing for post graduate programs and (sic) the students have all voiced how supportive and helpful the team were in helping to prepare them for the interview process where they are competing against hundreds of applicants.”

Kiri Bray

Serco Asia Pacific, Wandoo Reintegration Facility

“I just wanted to once again thank you for all that you have done. I know that (our new apprentices) both appreciate the opportunity they have been presented with and I am very proud of how they have performed. You have made the process over the past year an absolute breeze. I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for both the guys and making my job easy.”

Jon

Landmark Engineering

“Directions WA has made it very simple for us to employ apprentices as all we need to do is request them to find us some to interview and they handle everything else involved in employing them, leaving us to focus on our day to day roles.”

Kelly Baxter

Diabetes WA

“Thank you very much for allowing us to hire a room at your venue yesterday. Your help on Monday and throughout the day yesterday was over and beyond and we really did appreciate it. The room was perfect for our Group education program and the Facilitators, Penny and Sheryl, were very helpful on the day. We will definitely recommend you to other people and look forward to using you in the future.”

Marty Atkins

CEO Perth Football Club

“The relationship we have built with Directions over the year has given the opportunity for 3 of our players to commence apprenticeships in the construction industry. We look forward to building on that great relationship between Perth Football Club & Directions.”

Raymon

Career Centre Client

“I first came into Narrogin Directions in June 2016 when I was working at a local company, as managers were changing and shifts were uncertain. I was looking for a new role that was more secure. Rebecca helped me with a Career Plan and to write a resume, as well as teaching me to attach my resume to emails and online job applications. I came in regularly to use the computers for online job search and for help with cover letters. Rebecca helped me to apply for a farm role in Kojonup that was advertised online. I was successful and the job comes with housing so I am moving down to Kojonup into a secure role. Thank you to Directions and Rebecca for all of their help, I don’t think it would have been possible without the assistance.”
