Engaging With Your Child in Careers Conversations

The Turning Point Consulting Q&A Session:

On Thursday 18/06 we had a Parent Online Q&A Session on “Engaging With Your Child In Careers Conversations” with Kathryn from Turning Point Consulting. It went very well and we thank the parents who attended.

Parents attending requested information on how to access the information on the St. Brigid’s Careers Website. Follow the link and it will take you to all the wonderful info on the public page.

For the resume builder and career personality activities available to help you kickstart your conversation with your children, ask the student to access their Hapara Careers Workspace entitled “Term 2 2020 Careers” (for Yrs 9-12). Details for logging in to our Careers Website and the JobJump Careers website are found on the Workspace.

At the top of the Workspace is a link to a Careers noticeboard where I will put some of the docs that parents asked to see as well, under the topic of Engaging With Your Child” along with the JobJump Careers Newsletter.
