We at Form the Future know how difficult and challenging it can be to help your teenage child/ren when thinking about and planning their next steps in education or employment. We have designed a series of free virtual webinars to help parents and guardians support their children to make informed career and educational decisions and choose the best pathway for them.   

The webinars provide information and practical tools as well as the opportunity to ask questions at the end with help from a qualified careers guidance professional.  

How to have a career conversation with your child/ren 

Whether your child/ren have a clear idea of what they’d like to do beyond school or whether they have absolutely no idea, we’ll share some approaches for how you can engage your young person in thinking about and planning their next step.  

These are some of the topics covered: 

Common concerns of young people 
21st century notions of ‘career’ 
Dos and don’ts of ‘career’ conversations 
School careers programmes 
How to help your child get to know themselves better 
How to help them discover what’s out there  
How to help them weigh up different options

Important information 

This is the first webinar in a series of seven free webinars, designed to support parents as they help their young people make decisions about their future pathway. Each event in the series will take place once between Sept 2022 and March 2023 and while you don't have to join every webinar, we highly recommend it. The webinars will be delivered virtually via Zoom.
