🌟 Early Career Exploration: A Path to Less Stress and More Possibilities for Our Teens As parents, we all want to see our children succeed and thrive in their chosen paths. Yet, navigating the pressures of career and college decisions can be overwhelming for many high school juniors and seniors. 🎓 Recent studies, including insights from American Student Assistance, highlight a crucial opportunity we might be missing: starting career exploration in middle school. 🚀 Why start so early? - Less Stress: Middle school students typically face less pressure about their future careers, making it an ideal time to explore various interests and possibilities without the stress that comes with impending college decisions. - Brain Development: This age is a prime time for exploration and planning, thanks to their developmental stage, which is geared towards soaking up new information and ideas. - Visibility Matters: Exposure to different careers during these formative years can broaden their horizons—students often limit their career aspirations to roles they're familiar with from a young age. A staggering 80% of high school guidance counselors report that students feel "overwhelmed" by career and college decisions. Let’s change this narrative by encouraging career exploration earlier in their educational journey, ensuring our children are well-prepared and informed as they make these life-shaping decisions. Let's give our kids the tools to discover their passions and build their dreams from a younger age. It’s about creating opportunities for them to see and be what they can imagine. 🌈 #Parenting #MiddleSchool #CareerExploration #Education #StudentSuccess

Product Manager | I enable businesses to prioritize CUSTOMER SATISFACTION as their guiding principle and exceed BUSINESS TARGETS | Achieved a 214% increase in user base for a company
When I first started my career, I thought I understood what it meant to push myself. But it wasn’t until I faced truly challenging projects that I realized… It wasn't that I didn't know how to work hard; I just hadn’t seen it in that new light. 'It is what we know already that often prevents us from learning.' – Claude Bernard Inspired by this, I'm embarking on a 21-day challenge with Amaka Ifeduba to push beyond my comfort zone, embrace new learnings, and elevate my professional presence. What do I hope to achieve? More confidence, better connections, and actionable insights that will make a real difference. As Doris Lessing said, 'That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you have understood all your life, but in a new way.' Dear friends And fellow PMs, As the world ages, adults age into elders. As the world ages, the youth age into adults. As the world ages, teens age into youth. As the world ages, adolescents age into teens. As the world ages, babes age into adolescents. The only constant is change: new information, new trends, new hopes, new innovations. Each stage of life brings challenges that bring new ideas and perspectives. That’s why your learning should never end. What’s one thing you’re taking on to learn more and improve yourself? I’d love to know 🤗 #mystorymyvoice #Elevateyourprofessionalpresencewith_Amaka #personaldevelopment

As we guide our Grade 8 and 9 learners through the crucial phase of subject choices, it's essential to recognize that an individual's identity is closely intertwined with vocational development and career decision-making. An individual's identity, shaped by their self-concept, values, beliefs, and personal attributes, significantly influences their career choices and aspirations. To foster well-rounded development, it's important to start exposing young people to career exploration activities at an early age. These experiences not only help shape their identity but also lay the foundation for future career aspirations. Schools, parents, teachers, career professionals and youth development organisations play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between adolescence and career development. By providing guidance, resources, and opportunities for exploration, we can help young people discover their passions, strengths, and potential career paths. Together, let's empower our youth to build a strong sense of identity and a clear vision for their future careers. 💼 #CareerDevelopment #YouthEmpowerment #FuturePathways #CareerGuidance #Education #IdentityFormation #findyourpath 👨💻 👮♂️ 🚴♀️

Graduate of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology | Civil Engineering | Interpreter & Translator | English & French | Digital Marketing
Life gives us no choice but to grow up. We follow the norm: yesterday, we were in high school; today, we’re seated in an office. Yet, in our minds, we're still those kids running outside, carefree and not thinking about life. Along the way, we’ve found companies that trust us with our knowledge and skills. I’m still learning, and I live by the saying, “𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲.” I’m still young, and I look forward to continuing this journey of growth and learning, embracing each new challenge as an opportunity to grow. Let’s see what God has in store for my future ! #PersonalGrowth #LifelongLearning #CareerDevelopment #YoungProfessionals #TrustTheProcess #ProfessionalJourney #GrowthMindset #FutureOpportunities #job
