Parents

One of the most valuable things parents can do to help a student with career planning is listen: be open to ideas, try to help your student find information, and be nonjudgmental. Here are 10 ways you can help:

1. Encourage your child to visit the career center (and you go too!)
2. Advise your student to write a resume
3. Challenge your student to become “occupationally literate”
4. Allow your student to make the decision
5. Emphasize the importance of internships
6. Encourage extracurricular involvement
7. Persuade your student to stay up-to-date with current events
8. Expose your student to the world of work
9. Teach the value of networking
10. Help the career center
