New on the blog: Career Readiness Starts Now
It’s never too early (or too late) for your teen to start building career readiness.

In this week’s post, I share simple, practical steps to help your teen explore their interests, build confidence, and prepare for the future — one experience at a time.

If your teen feels unsure about their future, you’re not behind — you’re right on time. 🍂

Career readiness doesn’t happen all at once. It grows step by step through real experiences and open conversations.

Encourage your teen to take just one small action this month: a volunteer shift, an online job tour, a conversation with someone in a career they admire.

Every step builds confidence. Every action moves them closer to clarity.

You’re doing great, and so is your teen. 💛

Think career readiness is just for seniors?

Good news — it’s not! Every stage of high school offers opportunities for your teen to explore what excites them and where their strengths shine.

Here are 3 small steps you can take this month:
1️⃣ Attend a local career or college fair — exposure sparks curiosity.
2️⃣ Encourage job shadowing or informational interviews — even one short experience can open doors.
3️⃣ Support part-time jobs, volunteering, or leadership roles — real-world practice builds confidence.

Start where you are — progress happens one step at a time. 💛
