How Parents and Carers Can Help

You can support your young person by:

Encouraging exploration
Students don’t need everything figured out right away. Encourage them to:

• Try new activities
• Explore different subject areas
•  Attend careers events

Talking openly
Discuss:

• What they enjoy
• What they’re good at
•  What matters most to them in a future career

Supporting independence
Allow them to:

•  Contact employers
•  Apply for opportunities
• Attend appointments alone

This builds confidence and prepares them for the workplace.

Staying informed
Follow our careers announcements and encourage your young person to:

• Read our emails
•  Use our online tools
• Ask for help early
