AWARE Program

The AWARE program was developed to provide parents with information and resources in their role of the development of their child's career. This workshop is a hands-on interactive program between parents and students. The outcomes of the workshop are for the parents to be aware of:

• the impact they have on their child's career decisions
• the resources available to them in this process,
• the fact that career development is a process with stages
• the planning involved that will save time, money and build self-esteem
