How To Access Career Services In School
Skills Development Scotland (SDS) is the national career service, and they have careers advisers in every state secondary school in Scotland.
The SDS career service helps people develop their career management skills and make confident decisions for their future.
Pupils can speak to their SDS careers adviser throughout the school year and will also be supported by them at key times such as starting S1, making option choices, and preparing for moving on from school. This service will be delivered through drop-ins, one-to-one appointments, and group learning sessions. Kelly Dawson is the Careers Adviser for Milne’s she can be contacted by emailing her at kelly.dawson@sds.co.uk
There is lots of useful career information and advice available at any time through Scotland’s career website My World of Work. There is also a dedicated area for parents and carers with information to help you have career conversations at home.
If you or your young person would like to make an appointment with your school careers adviser, please contact the school office for details.
Beyond school, SDS advisers are also available at community venues across the country, an SDS centre, or via our helpline. To get support or arrange an appointment for a young person who has left school call the SDS Elgin on 01343 344006 More information about SDS and its career service in schools is available at sds.co.uk
