Skills Development Scotland (SDS) is the national career service and has careers advisers in every state secondary school in Scotland.
We’re keen to help parents and carers understand our services and kindly ask for your support in helping us share our service messages relevant to this term in school.
This toolkit has suggested ready-to-use content that can be used across your school communication channels.
You’ll find information on the following:
- Scottish Apprenticeships – information around choosing a Foundation Apprenticeship as part of option choices and details on Modern and Graduate Apprenticeships
- Parent and carer webinar – details of upcoming webinar hosted by SDS for parents and carers
- Parents’ Voice Survey 2025/26 – for feedback on our career services.
