At Barrhead High School we are committed to Developing the Young Workforce and we are continuously striving to improve the experience of our young people. We have redesigned our pastoral and PSHE curriculum in line with the Career Education Standard to ensure learners are preparing for their future pathways. Learners follow a carefully planned curriculum including lessons on skills for work, work experience, the recruitment process, CV writing, cover letters, informal and formal interview skills and job hunting in the digital world.
Skills Development Scotland (SDS) Careers Advice in Barrhead High School: Claire Anderson- Support Room 3 on 1st Floor.

SDS encourages all pupils to register on www.myworldofwork.co.uk to access career information and resources.
SDS Advisers will speak to all year groups during the school year. Further assistance will be provided to targeted senior phase pupils via 1-1 career coaching support and S2 pupils during subject choice time. Any pupil can request to meet the Careers Adviser at any time during the school year via their Pastoral Care Teacher.
