Parents, your career advice is outdated. Young adults face a globally competitive labor market, shadowy hiring processes, stagnant wages, escalating workplace expectations, rapidly evolving technology, minimal job security, and the demand for continuous skill development. To be prepared, your child will need career guidance that is relevant, realistic, and radical.
In this book, career coach Kerin Groves alerts parents to common but avoidable mistakes like waiting too long, assuming that education produces skills, overly narrowing down the options, doing too much or too little, ignoring labor market data, and overlooking hidden opportunities.
This positive and practical guide for parents includes conversational tips, research-based strategies to build on a student’s strengths, and lessons learned from the author’s work with thousands of clients, including how students secretly feel about future planning. Readers will learn how to have fruitful career conversations with their children, how to help them answer The Six Big Questions about their future, how to grow a student's self-understanding, how to tackle The Four E's of career readiness, and how to access and use career exploration data and resources.
With this valuable guide, parents and homeschool educators can begin today to intentionally weave career guidance into K-12+ education and everyday home life.

Career development is a process, not a destination. It can't be put off until high school graduation, and it should be fun!
Child development experts confirm that occupational awareness starts appearing naturally in early childhood. Career guidance does not aim to dictate a child’s path, but to positively address the natural curiosity of young children, the normal exploration process of preteens, and the future planning needs of teens and young adults. Learning their unique strengths, interests, and preferences helps students of all ages gradually begin to understand how they might fit into the world of work someday. This workbook accomplishes that goal with a collection of 24 in-depth, engaging and interactive projects, games, exercises, and activities, ranging in complexity from kindergarten to post-high school. The practical and relevant content easily integrates into any academic curriculum and is ideal for homeschools and private or charter schools.
