Have you checked our our new initiative...... MyKidsCareer

MyKidsCareer is a groundbreaking values-based approach that helps support parents and carers to guide their children to fulfilling careers. Our values underpin our hopes and aspirations for our children. So it makes sense that as parents we utilise them to help guide our children, especially knowing that the key to finding a fulfilling career means finding work that is meaningful.

On the launch of the website and associated tools, Dr Suzanne Cremen said "The focus in Australia regarding vocational and career pathways has been on skills and skillsets.  Yet, whether we are conscious of them or not, it is our values that determine whether the work we do has meaning and purpose for us.  The Values Activity provides an accessible tool for parents to become aware of the range of values that are driving them and influencing their kids' career choices.  Parents trialling the activity report beneficial outcomes including greater self-insight, awareness of intergenerational patterns, new perspectives on inner and outer conflicts, renewed clarity of purpose, and increased respect for their child’s unique vocational journey."

The website is a treasure trove of activities and information to assist parents in the work they do to support their children on the pathway to a successful future.

The Australian Parents Council worked with a long list of experts to help deliver this project including Dr Suzanne Cremen, Leonie Stanfield, Lucy Sattler and Angela Colliver.

We excitedly invite you to explore the website and Values Activities at the MyKidsCareer website. www.mykidscareer.com.au
