Good Afternoon
My name is Ruth Addo and I provide career support from Skills Development Scotland to pupils from Currie Community High School along with my colleagues Kirsty Dickson and Linda Dalziel. I hope you and your families are keeping safe and well during this pandemic.
During this time, like pupils, Career Advisers are unable to attend school, but we continue working from home, for us this is likely to be until at least October.
With this in mind Skills Development Scotland still want to support pupils to develop their Career Management Skills to help them make career decisions that are right for them, as they move through school and eventually leave.
I may be contacting your young person in the senior part of the school between now and October (including the summer holiday) to discuss their plans for the year ahead although you or your young person can also contact us at a time that suits you by calling our local Edinburgh office on 0131 718 2040. Kirsty Dickson, Linda Dalziel or Fiona McInnes will be child’s post school adviser and able to offer support by telephone and eventually in the centre at Shandwick Place for as long as they need it.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with your young person in the year ahead,
Ruth Addo, Careers Adviser
