As a parent or caregiver, you have a powerful impact on the education and success of your child. Research shows that your influence is even greater than factors like gender, cultural background, or family income.
By being involved in your child's career development, you can help them feel more confident, motivated, and aware of their options for higher education. However, it's understandable if you don't always know how to best support your child. That's why these resources have been created just for you - to provide the knowledge and tools you need to guide your child's development and help them achieve their goals.
