Involving parents in career education and guidance
21-August-2007
permalink comments (11) forum (11) email thisI pose this question for two reasons, firstly, as a parent I have not been actively encouraged by my son and daughter's school to meet with an Adviser and/ or Teacher to talk about the labour market and how this might impact on future possibilities for my off-spring; secondly, I'm fascinated by the idea expressed by some colleagues that there isn't an easy way of connecting with large nos. of parents/carers because "they're too hard to reach".
What lessons can we learned from our European counterparts? Do you have any examples of working with parents/carers either 1:1 and/ or group settings? Have you undertaken any research aimed specifically at capturing parents/carers views of the concept of 'career' and how they perceive their role in the 21st century career education and guidance process? My colleague Hayley Lamb (Researcher) at the Centre for Gudance Studies, University of Derby, is currently investigating this topic email: h.lamb@derby.ac.uk

thanks for the information about research papers.3 FAMILY INFLUENCE
Research has already demonstrated that comprehensive career guidance programs can provide students with basic economic understandings, skills in understanding themselves and educational/occupational opportunities as I had with my current projects (otimização de sites, desentupidora, iluminação, acompanhantes, transportadora relogio de ponto dentista), and skills in overcoming bias and stereotyping. Evidence is also promising that students can acquire increases in basic academic skills, a desire to work, career decisionmaking skills, and job-seeking/finding/getting/ holding skills. Through collaborative efforts in career guidance, counselors can help parents influence their children's career development more effectively and wisely, and together they may all succeed in turning the promises of research into reality.4 Interesting Question

With the increasing college costs for education, debts on it are more increasing. Rising student loan debt leads some to wonder whether going in hock for years to get a degree is worth it. The New York Times reports that no more than half of students who began a four-year bachelor’s degree program in the fall of 2006 will get that degree after paying tuition for six years.9
All school should organized a seminar regarding labor market before the students graduation in order for them to think on how will they find a right job. I have an essay talking about career education and guidance.10 personal statements
