How can parents support teenagers and young adults at the start of their career in this changing job market?
Good question… If you’re a parent feeling confused, worried or even frustrated about your teenager or 20-somethings career direction (or lack thereof) you are not alone.
However, stressful conversations and out of date tactics will not help. In this video, career coach and qualified careers advisor Gina Visram shares some up to date and important insights for any parents who want to be helpful in relation to their child’s early career.
Careers conversations with your kids video:
You’ll learn:
- How early career paths are changing (and why your expectation should move with the times)
- Why uncertainty and some element of job hopping are more normalised
- How parents can support in less pressured and less judgemental ways (happy to create more content on this in the future if it would help)…
- Why skills matter most at the early career stage
- Why listening instead of solving can lead to better conversations
This video is for parents of teenagers, students and graduates who want to play a more positive and purposeful role in supporting the early career of their children.
