How can parents help students make life and work decisions after high school?
Parents, guardians and other significant adults can have a major influence on a student life and work choices. The best way for parents to help may be to: • work on building and maintaining an open relationship with the people involved in your student’s education; • talk to your student’s career counsellor and teachers to share information and common concerns; • be involved in your student’s career program in ways that can continually further your student’s career development and learning; • familiarize yourself with the career development process; • become a member of your local school, district parent advisory council.
