Careers for Life - Parents

“‘There are only two lasting things that we can give our children. One is roots, the other is wings.”

“Lasting Gifts Program”
Developed by the Canadian Career Development Fund, an internationally recognised leader in the field of career development.

“Lasting Gifts” provides you - as a parent - a wise, warm, and supportive framework for helping your teenager develop and build a meaningful career and prepare for the challenges ahead.

Practical exercises give you both the opportunity to:

• share wisdom and challenges 
• explore your own values and strengths 
• determine which values you want to impart to your children 
• increase knowledge of sensible, practical and positive parenting skills 
• follow your teenager’s  skills and competencies 
• feel positive about the future

Together with Career–Wise, you will build a “circle of strength” (a resource network) to assist your teenager on their journey.

“ If you want your children to be people of character, you need to be working on your own character on a regular basis” (Gauld & Gauld)

We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with.

We already have capacities,
talents, direction, missions, callings.
