Parents as Partners in Career Education--

**Research has shown that parents have the strongest influence over their children's choices regarding post-secondary education and careers.

**Children need guidance to help choose the best educational and career paths.

**Home is a child's first workplace-where responsibility, decision-making, team work, problem solving and other employability skills can be reinforced beginning at a young age.

**Parents know their children best and are in the best positions to help their children, but need information and resources to help them do so.
