The Role of Middle School Parents in Career Planning
Parents can encourage adolescent children to plan for a career in several important ways:
- Talk to your children about your own work, and/or jobs of friends and relatives, so they will learn about several work alternatives.
- Ask your children what they like to do and help them look for ways that their interests can be reflected in a career choice.
- Help your children decide whether they should enroll in vocational classes while in high school.
- Help your children get information about middle and high school courses they will need to take in order to enroll in college or a post secondary training program.
- Work with the school to provide counselors, career and higher education information, and speakers for a "career day," and trips to local employer and employment agencies.
