The Rungway app will allow users to ask questions anonymously, to get insights into anything from university courses to career options, different routes into the workplace, or even internships and work experience.

Aside from offering a potential ‘step on the ladder’, the app can also offer answers to general queries around CV presentation or interview skills, confidence tips, general industry enquiries or bigger life questions.

Alumnae and staff from across the GDST network of 25 schools will be able to share their expertise easily and safely with sixth formers and each other in this closed mentoring community.

The app launched earlier this month has received hugely positive responses and has been featured in The Times.
