For Parents

"How can I help with my child's planning?"

Parents can help with the process by:

  • Asking your student to show you what they have been doing on career cruising or completing activities with your student.
  • Knowing what ACP activities are completed in each grade level.
  • Knowing your student's interests, skills, and values.
  • Encouraging your student to get involved in activities that match their interests, skills, and values.
  • Reminding your student that all careers have multiple pathways and encouraging them to explore all the options.
  • Talking to your student about your career experiences.
  • Helping your student find the resources they need to be successful.
  • Attending job fairs and campus visits with your student.
  • Attending an apprenticeship information meeting with your student.

Don't forget you can access the Parent Portal on Career Cruising - Just ask your student to send you an invitation!
