Understand, strengthen, support - parents as companions
Deciding on a future career path is an exciting but also challenging time for young people. Many questions and uncertainties accompany this process - and this phase is often not easy for parents and guardians either.
The following questions may arise:
- How can I best support my child?
- What information does my child need from me?
- What ideas, thoughts and feelings does my child have during this phase?
As parents and guardians, you play a crucial role in the career orientation process. Your child is looking for support, feedback and advice. At the same time, the multitude of possibilities can quickly overwhelm young people. This makes it all the more important that you support your child with interest, understanding and trust.
We would like to start here and offer you assistance so that you can advise and support your child in the best possible way. We recommend the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport's guide for parents and guardians whose children are about to make a career decision.
There you will find information on the background to the career orientation process as well as suggestions and practical tips on how you can support your child during this phase.
