Skills Development Scotland

Skills Development Scotland (SDS) is Scotland’s careers service.  Qualified SDS Careers Advisers work in schools and careers centres across the whole of Scotland.   The SDS Careers Adviser in our school is Sharon Tulloch. 

Contact with the Careers Advisers should be made through the school: Our careers Advisers are Leona McHardy who covers Bruce, Telford and Glennie Houses (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) and Cathy Mellstrom who covers Wallace and Slessor Houses ( Mondays and Wednesdays).

Careers Advisers will meet with young people to help them make decisions about their future career pathway.  Alongside other school staff, Careers Advisers are involved in supporting young people through subject choice at relevant stages in their education.  This may involve working with individuals one to one, or with groups or classes.  Young people can continue to access support from advisers when they leave school, through the Career Centres in Peterhead, Inverurie and Aberdeen.   

Leona McHardy is also continuing in her role and either one of us would be available on every day through out the week.
