Skills Development Scotland - Careers Advice

My name is Vanessa Kokota and I am the school’s Careers Adviser. I am employed by Skills Development Scotland, which is the National Careers Service. My role is to work with pupils in group discussions, drop-in clinics and 1:1 interviews. Through such work I can help children identify and develop Career Management Skills (the ability to understand their interests, values, strengths, horizons and networks) and how these skills will help them to become successful career planners throughout their lives. Whatever stage your child is,  www.myworldofwork.co.uk has tools, information, articles and videos to help . On www.mykidscareer.com you could also find useful information about up-to-date opportunities, growing industries and job vacancies, exam and subject choices, career pathways and jobs of the future as well as stories and experiences from other parents. Should you wish to discuss your child’s career ideas and options, please contact me at: Vanessa.Kokota@sds.co.uk or at: 07867 353442.

Kind regards,

Vanessa
