Businesses and members of the public have helped shape the look and feel of the site. We want it to be as easy to use as possible. However, we also welcome feedback on how we can improve it.

Browser Support
Careers Scotland is committed to open standards, such as those created by the World Wide Web Consortium. These standards help make the Web work more reliably for everyone, and are widely supported by governments around the world and by the Internet industry itself.
The Careers Scotland website was designed from the start with older browsers in mind. It has been tested with older versions of Netscape and Internet Explorer. The site also displays well on up to date alternative browsers such as Opera and Mozilla.
Older browsers with poor support for open standards can still access the contents of this Web site although we cannot guarantee how the pages will be displayed to the user.
