Free seminar: ‘Parents as Career Educators’

Guiding teenagers through the various career and study options available to them in the modern world can be a challenge. They see so many choices and hear different views from peers and others – it can be hard to know how to decide what is right for them.

At this seminar, UC Career Consultant Dave Petrie will talk with parents about how to support their teens in making informed decisions about their futures.

Dunedin Community House 301 Moray Place Dunedin

This free seminar will cover:

• Career pathways

• The world of work: looking forward – including key skills employers seek

• How to make informed career decisions now and in the future

• How parents can assist and communicate effectively

• Career development resources
