  • The students really benefited from the day and rated it as one of the most important and useful masterclasses of the year.

    Liz Lovell, Luton SF College

  • The feedback from Schools has been very positive and when the Education Department staff return from summer recess, I will follow up with them to see how we can roll this out across the island and I can look at attracting some partners from the Finance Industry on island to assist.

    Michelle Le Clerc, States of Guernsey/Investec

  • The students were engaged throughout and clearly enjoyed the final session, some of the ideas were pretty far-fetched but was good to see their imaginations working overtime.
