Career support in school  

Skills Development Scotland (SDS) is Scotland’s career service and has a qualified careers adviser in every state secondary school in the country. They can help pupils understand what they’re good at, what is out there for them, and the routes and pathways to get there. They can also support pupils at option choice time, preparing their CVs, and can help with college, university, and apprenticeship applications.
