There are two SDS Careers Advisers , based in the Careers Room in school.
Who are Skills Development Scotland (SDS) and what can they do to help young people in school?
SDS is the National Careers Service and in St John Ogilvie High, SDS is represented by the Careers Advisers Fiona Laing and Mark McKay.

Our work in school is to help young people develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to make well informed and relevant choices, so that they can successfully manage their future career decisions. We help pupils develop the Career Management Skills (CMS) that will enable them to do this.
Our aim, working closely with partners, staff and pupil support teams, is to try to make sure that every young person can leave school and enter a positive destination which is right for them.
Pupils meet with us throughout their school life from S1 to S6 either through group sessions or 1-1 meetings. An important part of our work is in the senior phase and during this time it is likely contact with us will increase as we work with pupils to help them prepare to leave school.
Careers Advisers work directly with pupils , helping them plan their careers for beyond school. Pupils will be encouraged to identify and develop their career management skills under the four CMS themes, shown in the jigsaw below, that are key to finding and sustaining a career.
My World of Work is SDS careers website, and it’s packed full of activities, tools, and tips to help pupils make the right decisions for their future.
