Subject Choice
Subject Choice
Subject choice at school can have an impact on what you can study at college or university and what jobs you can go for in the future. Skills Development Scotland Careers Advisers are available to support you at subject choice time. My World of Work can help you prepare for the chats you’ll have with your Careers Adviser, teachers, parents and carers.
