Parents

Supporting your child through the process of choosing study options and a future career is not an easy task. Whilst some may have an idea of what they want to do after school or college it is quite common for them to feel anxious and unsure of what future career path they wish to take.

Is it best to go to university or to try to get a job with quality training and good prospects?
Is help needed in identifying and developing potential career ideas?
