Skills Development Scotland is an organisation which aims to help all young people with getting into education, training and employment.
There are staff with specialist skills who can help anyone with a disability. They have experience in helping people with a wide range of disabilities such as:
- a medical condition, physical or sensory impairment that may affect their career choice
- general learning difficulties
- specific learning difficulties
- behavioural problems
- social and emotional problems
- mental health problems
- communication difficulties
Young people with additional support needs can be assisted in:
- looking at their own interests, skills and strengths
- understanding the range of options open to them
- developing realistic and achievable career plans
- applying for college/university courses
- applying for job or training vacancies
- linking them up to other organisations and agencies which could also help them
If you attend a mainstream school or college you can access a Careers Adviser there, who will be happy to help you with any queries you may have.
