Direction is an organisation that specialises in helping clients self-direct their destiny through personal awareness and career exploration. We have close ties with Proff. Zak Nel and work closely with educational institutions to offer a suite of services to assist with the following:
- Grade 9 learners making subject choices
- Grade 10, 11 and 12 learners positioning themselves for all formats of tertiary education
- Assisting students with the selection processes associated with admission into professional areas of study
- University students re-aligning their study options and graduates entering the workplace and
- Adults re-entering the career arena, making alternative career choices and changes and the planning of post-graduate studies
Our philosophy is underpinned by a strengths paradigm where our objective is to build confidence in one’s ability and in the career choice options available.
The process is modified according to age group but is supported by a model consisting of 3 overlapping perspectives as depicted below:

A typical process runs over a 2hr period with exploration around context, assessment diagnostics and career options.
