-Michelle Burke-
Former Guidance Counselor Hull High School
"Judi was such a valuable resource …...and works tirelessly to provide opportunities for our school."
"Judi was such a valuable resource to Hull High School as we worked to give career-bound students exposure to a wide range of post-secondary opportunities. Her attention to detail and enthusiasm were evident as we planned our programs, held workshops for students to explore career options, and took students on exciting field trips that motivated them to pursue careers in the trades. Judi does an excellent job seeking the information that she needs to personalize her work with each group of students. Whatever interest a student brought up, Judi seemed to have multiple resources and connections to help them take the next step in learning more. She shows a genuine interest in the future success of each student and works tirelessly to provide opportunities for our school."
-John S. Ferrante-
Chief Executive Officer - Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts, Inc.
“Judi Vigna is an exceptional collaborator who creates synergistic connections with all stakeholders to make educational and vocational pathways to employment more diverse, inclusive, and navigable."
"The Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts (AGC MA) recently undertook a concerted workforce development initiative for the commercial construction industry. While we represent some of the most sophisticated commercial builders in the country, we lacked the expertise to navigate the space between the educational community and our industry. After becoming a client of Specialized Career Guidance, we couldn’t be more pleased with our progress in creating pathways to employment between schools, community stakeholders, and our industry. Judi Vigna is an exceptional collaborator who creates synergistic connections with all stakeholders to make educational and vocational pathways to employment more diverse, inclusive, and navigable."

"Having enjoyed an over forty year career as hospital chief executive, I can honestly say I never encountered anyone better than Judi at organizing data, resources and people around problems to be solved or opportunities to create.
