    About this ebook

    A key part of parenting or caring for older children is being involved in their career decisions. Parents and other caregivers know more about the realities of the world of work than teenagers and can be a useful guide on their career decision-making journey. This book is intended to help you to develop awareness of your teenager’s career identity – their values, personality and level of understanding of the world of work – so that you can get a picture of how best to assist them to make successful career decisions. It will help you to learn about their personal career preferences. Through doing the activities in this book you will get a clearer picture of the types of work they would like to pursue and also identify how much more they need to learn about the world of work.

      Introduction

      A key part of parenting or caring for older children is being involved in their career decisions. Parents and other caregivers know more about the realities of the world of work than teenagers and can be a useful guide on their career decision-making journey. It has long been said that teenagers need to know that their parents and caregivers are interested in them even if they find it hard to show that they need such engagement. However, it is also important not to be too enmeshed with your teenager by trying to live your career dreams or correct your career mistakes through them.

      This book is intended to help you to develop awareness of your teenager’s career identity – their values, personality and level of understanding of the world of work – so that you can get a picture of how best to assist them to make successful career decisions. It will help you to learn about their personal career preferences. Through doing the activities in this book you will get a clearer picture of the types of
