Information for Parents and Carers

At Hugh Baird College, every student can get careers advice and guidance appointments. They can find a team of fully qualified careers advisers at all of our campuses, and as a parent or carer, you are also welcome to join their appointments if you wish to.

If your son, daughter or dependent is aged between 16 and 24 years old, they will automatically get a careers guidance appointment during the last term of the academic year. But don't worry help is needed earlier, because appointments can be booked with the Careers Advice and Guidance team anytime throughout the year.
