Free seminar for parents of teens
Parents and caregivers of secondary school students (Years 9-13) are invited to a free ‘Parents as Career Educators’ seminar in August.
The seminar will provide parents with tips and advice to guide their teenagers through the various career and study options available to them in the modern world.
This free seminar will cover:
• The world of work: looking forward
• How to make informed career decisions now and in the future
• How parents can assist
• Career development resource.
Presented by a career consultant from the University of Canterbury | Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha (UC), the seminar will assist parents to help their teens consider ALL their options, such as work, university, polytechnic, an apprenticeship, private providers or other possibilities. (This event is NOT about study options at UC.)
