I've been using Morrisby, in various formats, for over 25 years. Compared to many other products I've used, I always find the career and course suggestions really accurate and appropriate. (I always test it on myself to make sure!). It's very easy to explain to students why certain ideas are suggested (when they query the suggestions). With the addition of Morrisby Tracker, the extra features now make Morrisby an integral aspect of our careers delivery in school.

Sharon Acaster found Morrisby:
  • Significantly provides school data
    We have yet to make full use of all the data that can be provided but can see that it will be useful in identifying careers and study interests that our students have, allowing us to target events and information for them. It will also enable us to record and identify careers and extra curricular activities our students are engaged with, so easily see which Gatsby benchmarks we are covering.
  • Significantly increases student collaboration
    Making sure that students have re-visited their Morrisby accounts, re-taken assessments etc. to generate career ideas and study interests makes careers meetings with them more productive and focused.
  • Slightly improves parent engagement
    It should do but we haven't explored this in too much detail yet. All parents are told about about Morrisby, in Year 8, when we introduce it, Year 10 when we offer Profiling, and Year 11, prior to individual careers meetings.
  • Significantly builds student knowledge
    Generating career and course ideas is great for expanding students knowledge base about the options available to them, rather than just the limited range of career ideas they normally consider. It's very easy for them to select careers/courses of interest and have all the information they need instantly about getting into this course/career, what it involves etc.
