An SDS Careers Adviser will be at the Elgin Youth cafe each fortnight in the afternoon for a drop in – a quick chat to make a longer appointment, find out about different learning or working options (uni, college, apprenticeships etc), have your CV or applications checked over, do some interview prep, find out which job sites to look at, or just to find out how careers guidance and development can help you.
Skills Development Scotland (SDS) Careers Advisers offer free, impartial career information, advice, and guidance (CIAG) to people of all ages across Scotland. What does this mean?
We can help with finding purpose, discovering what matters to you, your place in the world, the point of studying or working and getting up in the morning. Sometimes people think careers is just information about options , planning for the future or help in finding a job. It is so much more than that. It can give meaning, purpose, self esteem, hope and the ability to navigate the challenges of life.
