  6. “Many studies show that young people cite their parents most frequently as the main influence in their occupational plans. No other group even comes close.” Sarah M. Shoffner and Richard H. Klemer, (authors of “Parent Education for the Parental Role in Children’s Vocational Choices”.)

  7. Getting Parents Involved! Parents play a vital role in helping their child decide how to map an education pathway that will best fit him/her.

  8. How can you get involved? Some points to consider when helping your child select a subject combination: 1. Interest/Skills : Is he/she more of a science or language person? Does he/she enjoy working with their hands to create things? 2. Ability : What are his/her academic strengths and weaknesses? Which subjects play up his/her strengths? 3. Requirements : Is there a specific subject that he/she must take if they wish to pursue a certain course for their post secondary education (e.g. take art to enter fashion design etc.)?

  9. Suggested questions to discuss with your child: • What are your favourite school subjects, and why are they your favourites? • Why do you think school is important? • What are the things that you are proud of? • What are the things that you would like to improve? • What are some of your “job” duties as a student? • What are some of your “job” duties as a member of your family? • What career would you like to have when you grow up? • What are some “job” duties that someone in this career would have? • What school subjects would help you in this career? • Name some other careers that you think you might like. Why might you like them?
