Wonderful warm people to meet with. I got a lot of encouragement to keep the career coaches project moving ahead. I also now have expanded my network to include 7 new practitioners.
I'm now considering a community based education project which might include anyone who may be an important influence in young people's lives not just parents. This might include community mentors, elders, grandparents as well as parents. Thinking of a series of educational events with speakers, encouraging an ongoing group of interested adults to help plan other events and champion youth/career employment. I need to go back over the thesis on Parents as Career Coaches for ideas. This thesis may also be a good door opener for meeting with people in the schools or VIU.
