Parent Engagement in Careers
One of the benefits of being a member of the national parent body, Catholic School Parents Australia, means we are exposed to many organisations who are developing fantastic resources for students.
At our latest CSPA meeting, we learned about a new resource that is available for teenagers who are researching career opportunities, courses and other resources to support them in making decisions about their future. This fantastic website resource provides opportunities for parents, teachers and students to be more engaged in conversations together about careers opportunities and provides young people with insights into real industry examples through videos, podcasts and interviews.
Parents are able to join for free for access to information for their children on career options.
Free careers webinar for parents - 14th October 2020
This 1 hour session will cover:
- Understanding ATAR
- Understanding scaling
- Subject selection
- Double degrees/focused degrees
- Industry misconceptions
- Understanding the application process
- Scholarship application
Is your child potentially missing out on work experience this year? The careers department have created a remote work experience program that provides students with real world projects over 5 days. If your school is not yet informed about this program, perhaps you could share this to provide this opportunity for students.
