Free careers seminar for parents of teens

Grant from Halswell

Guiding teenagers through the various career and study options available to them in the modern world can be a challenge. At this seminar, UC Career Consultant Dave Petrie will talk with parents about how to support their children in making informed decisions about their futures.

Parents and caregivers of secondary school aged children (Years 9-13) are invited to attend one of three free seminars which 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 resources

Light refreshments will be available after the seminar. This seminar is being held on 9 August and repeated on 16 and 23 August – so choose the one date that suits you best.

Dave Petrie is a Career Consultant with the UC Career Centre, helping students to identify, plan for, and pursue appropriate careers, internships and employment opportunities. He has over 20 years’ experience working in the career and employment field, including seven years involvement in Career Education in Schools with Careers New Zealand before joining UC.

NOTE: This seminar is NOT about study options at the University of Canterbury | Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha (UC) – it is designed to help parents to help their teens consider ALL their options, whether this is work, university, polytechnic, an apprenticeship, private providers or other possibilities.
