How You Can Help

As a Parent/Carer you can support your child to explore their future plans.

• Whilst at school encourage your child to talk to careers professionals and teachers about their future career plans
• Discuss their career ideas, favorite subjects, interests, skills and personal qualities
• Support them by finding out about their options by attending parents’ evenings, school/college open days and career events
• Talk about expectations and help them to consider back-up plans
• Support them in exploring options after Year 11 such as 6^th form, college, training or apprenticeships
• Support them in making applications, ensuring they meet any deadlines and attend all their interviews.
