Our My World of Work web service helps you learn all about the key industries in Scotland and discover in greater detail what specific jobs or careers involve.

Find out which skills are currently in demand across Scotland's industries and discover what trends you can expect to see in the jobs market in the years to come. It may be that you already have the exact mix of skills needed to fill an employment gap - or that you could easily upgrade your skills to do so.

The Careers A-Z tool on the My World of Work website has useful information about hundreds of different careers, including

  • what does the work involve?
  • what experience and qualifications do I need?
  • how much am I likely to earn?

Our careers guidance also extends to voluntary work, self-employment and home working, and you can search Jobcentre Plus vacancies on the My World of Work website so that you never miss the latest job opportunities.
