My Kids Career
Research shows that the most influential figures in children’s career choices are parents and carers, and to achieve the best outcomes, it’s important to start conversations early.
By talking about careers with your children as early as you can, you’ll be able to help them find a job that offers them the future they want. But it can be difficult to know where to begin – or where to find the time. Their discussion guides, written by expert careers advisers and designed to mirror your child’s milestones, will provide the steps you need to approach these conversations with confidence.
From subject choices to the jobs of the future, routes to entry, to what to do when they don’t get the exam results they need – MyKidsCareer.com has got credible, up-to-date advice on critical issues.
