Career Planning for Teens
How does a teenager decide their path into the future after completing school? You might be thinking "I'm too young to be thinking about my life's work" but even if you're not sure what you want to do, you can begin a process to discover and learn about your options.
Or you might be a parent who wants to help your child answer the question "What are you hoping to do next year?" For some help, have a look here What are you hoping to do?
It is said that 10% of teens know what they want to do and end up pursuing that career direction; 10% of teens have no idea what they want to do and end up having no clear direction; and 80% of teens will work out their career direction in time and with help.
Helping teens create their personal database about themselves, explore possible career options, consider how market trends affect future work, review the fit of subject options and courses, set their long and short-term goals, develop their CV and a personal action plan to get started.
