Martin Whitfield MSP is highlighting the careers advice and support available from Skills Development Scotland (SDS) for young people who have received their exams results.

SDS careers advisers are at the end of the phone to help young people and their parents and carers.
There’s also lots of results support on Scotland’s career website, My World of Work – it’s packed with advice, information and resources.

If you would prefer to speak to someone in person, you can visit an SDS centre or community venue to talk to a careers adviser about your results and next steps. No appointment is necessary.

Commenting on the support available, Martin Whitfield MSP said:

“Whatever your results, you have options. Skills Development Scotland (SDS) delivers Scotland’s
career service. SDS provide support to learners, and their parents and carers, at what can be an uncertain time.

“The SDS Results Helpline number goes live at 8am on results day, Tuesday 6 August until 5pm, Friday 9 August 2024. You can talk to SDS’s expert careers advisers about course vacancies at colleges and universities, Confirmation and Clearing, and get advice about Foundation, Modern, and Graduate Apprenticeships, jobs, volunteering, or staying on at school.”

The SDS Results Helpline number is 0808 100 8000 or find out more at www.skillsdevelopmentscotland.co.uk/contact-us.
