How can I help my teenagers decide what are the best study and career options for them?
The quality of career advice teens receive often affects the rest of their lives.
Careers Partnership (UK) offers an intensive, one to one programme “Career Advice for Teenagers”, helping your teens achieve their personal ambitions through good choices of academic / job qualifications and careers.
Our “Career Advice for Teenagers” programme provides your teens with:
- A thorough assessment of the teenagers’ careers and study interests, personal strengths and weaknesses and their academic potential (this guidance is partly based on psychometric assessment, partly on a careful, focused exploration of your teens’ careers hopes, dreams and concerns about their future)
- Education / careers advice based on this assessment on their best choices of qualifications, careers and study routes (eg. “A” Levels or BTEC? Start careers teenagers can enter as 18 year olds, with the option of work-based training towards professional qualifications, or go to university?)
- Up to date information about qualifications and careers.
The thoroughness of Careers Partnership (UK)’s assessments and the amount of one to one time provided for exploration of their personal ambitions, worries and decisions gives teenagers confidence in the value of our advice about choices of subjects, courses, qualifications and careers.
The resulting certainty they have made the right decisions about their studies and that their future qualifications will lead to enjoyable, rewarding careers often helps teenagers to work harder and more consistently at their academic or vocational courses. Any necessary guidance on effective study, revision and self-motivation techniques will be included as part of the “Career Advice for Teenagers” programme.
The psychometric information often raises teenagers’ careers ambitions and boosts fragile self-belief. The assessment reassures teens they can achieve the qualifications and jobs they want, if they’re prepared to put in the work.
The conventional qualifications dependent route to career success and well-paid jobs doesn’t suit all teenagers. Our career advice for teenagers enables teens who will leave full-time education with uncompetitive qualifications to identify jobs they want to do, and can do, and that also offer unusually strong prospects for continuing career development. Suitable careers for teens often enable them to obtain nationally recognised qualifications (up to and beyond graduate level, if that’s what they want) on the job.
Please note, many guidance / assessment specialists believe that computer-generated teenagers’ careers advice and psychometric reports produce bland, confusing data, leaving the teenagers as directionless as before they sought careers guidance. Careers Partnership (UK) never uses standardised computer reports to interpret psychological test results or provide teenagers’ careers advice.
NB: Everything discussed during the “Career Advice for Teenagers” programme is treated as confidential, between the teenagers and ourselves. In reality, many teenagers want to talk over with their families the career advice and assessment information they’ve been given.
Career Advice for Teenagers (Ref: L5)
Who is it for:
Teenagers (aged 17 and over) wanting one to one education and career advice to guide their futures.
This programme of career advice for teenagers also suits teens convinced they've already made the wrong study/job choices but unsure what to do now.
Description:
During the friendly, informal but focused one to one sessions of career advice, teenagers and careers advisors work together to explore the teens' careers aspirations,personal ambitions and current thinking about qualifications and higher education.
Teenagers complete a series of personality, ability and interests questionnaires (these provide the psychometric data informing teens careers and education choices).
The psychometric data helps teenagers reach better, more objective choices between different courses, qualifications and careers as they're able to make direct comparisons of their enthusiasm and potential for each of their options.
Non-psychometric information can be of equal importance in providing good education and careers advice for teenagers. Exam-phobic teenagers need exam-free routes to study and career success, for example.
Teenagers' careers advice and study guidance reports are individually written and "user friendly", addressing the particular concerns your teenagers raised with their careers advisors.
