Parental Influencer

Parental influence is one of the most significant factors affecting a young person's career choice.

This influence is a blend of conscious and unconscious factors that shape how an individual views different career paths and the effort they invest in their career planning. Recognising this, Career-Fit has developed a process to help parents support their children in making informed and beneficial career decisions.
