Pupils
Our careers service in schools
We all want our young people to be effective lifelong career planners who can make informed and confident decisions about their future.
Here at Skills Development Scotland (SDS) we support pupils, parents and teachers with a comprehensive range of career information advice and guidance (CIAG) services.
Our professionally qualified careers staff provide face-to-face guidance. We also have our digital channels including My World of Work and Apprenticeships.scot.
Our school services table below provides a comprehensive overview of the help on offer. Learn more about the CIAG services we provide in schools and centres across the country here.
