🎧 The latest episode of Skillscast is out! If you’re getting your results this year – or you’re the parent or carer of someone who is - this episode of Skillscast has you covered. From 8am on SQA Results day you can call the SDS Results Helpline on 0808 100 8000. And it’s an expert Careers Adviser like Carrie Stewart you’ll talk to. Carrie gives Skillscast the lowdown on what to expect when you call, and how she and her colleagues can help you figure out what's next. There are words of wisdom for those starting out in their careers too. Energy Transition Zone Ltd's Lauren Braidwood, Scotland’s Apprentice of the Year Marc Ingram, Centrica's Professor Steve Petrie, Scottish Engineering’s Paul Sheerin and Scottish Forestry’s Ros Wardman MICFor tell us what they wish they'd known when they were starting out.
