Career Discovery For Teens
Teenagers are at a stage in life when they are unsure about what they should do when they graduate from secondary school. School-life today is heavily focused on exam results and applying to university without a work-context. In fact, when asked, students often tell me that they don't have time to learn about the world-of-work because they have too many school obligations leaving them with little to no time to explore a future career. Therefore, to ensure that a teenager is ready to make career choices, it's essential to teach them sure-fire strategies that will guarantee they will make informed choices.
Career Discovery for Teens gives you the exact strategies to learn HOW to get started on your career journey, make informed academic choices, and take actions to make the career choice that feels right for you!
Does this sound familiar?
-
You're always asked what you want to do after you graduate from secondary school and you don't know.
-
Your grades aren't good and you don't know if you can go to university.
-
You don't know if you want to go to university but your parents want you to go.
-
You need help with clear options.
-
You don't know how to research your options.
-
You don't know how to decide your university options.
-
You're afraid that the choice you make won't have enough demand in the future.
-
You don't know if you should decide to do something you like or something that is popular.
-
You need help choosing something that has market demand.
-
You need motivation for career options.
-
You need some support for making career choices.
-
You don't like the subjects you're taking in school and you don't know how to choose a degree at university.
-
You procrastinate and need help to do your career research.
-
You don't know if your degree choice will be the right choice and you don't know who to ask.
If you can relate, you're not alone.
This is what all of my students have been telling me.
What If One High-Quality Career Program Could Unlock Clarity, Confidence, and Help You Make Your Career Decisions Feeling Excited?
The job market is evolving quickly due to tech advancements and globalisation. This can make it challenging for teenagers to predict which careers will be in demand in the future. It also makes it easy for 'good intentioned mentors' to give students the wrong advice. Trust me when I say: you should never accept career advice from someone just because they promote 'university'. You can have career success AND go to university if that's what you want. But, if you're looking for making informed career choices WITH confidence, you want a career program that is founded in education, and research AND shows evidence of longlasting success.
My guess is since you're reading this page, you've realised that you want to make an informed career decision and you want to feel confident about the choice you make too!
I'm Ms.V - Founder of MV Careers, the UAE Careers Community, TeensTalk ME, and the author of Empowerment for Teens: A Guide to Helping Young Adults Prepare for Their Future.
I've inspired thousands of students, parents, and hundreds of career advisors to make confident career choices before they graduate from secondary school. Now, I'm taking this program to you!
My Most Sucessful, Most Powerful, and Most Impactful Success Secret - ALWAYS!
For the past sixteen years, I have been helping teenagers discover, explore, and communicate their career aspirations to their parents, their friends, their teachers, and to themselves. We meet in the classroom, in my office, on virtual platforms, and in auditoriums, and every time we meet, everyone leaves the room more informed, and feeling supported on their career journey.
Sometimes, the conversations start with a parent concerned that their teen is not ready to make a career choice, and other times, a teacher might drop me an email recommending a career conversation slot for their students. Sometimes, I get a DM from a student and I even had friends of students contact my office too. The reality is, YOU NAME IT, I HEARD IT. Teenagers' career confusion is not alien to me.
