Lecture 'How a Child Can Choose Their Future'

How can parents help their children choose a career path, taking into account today’s uncertainties? This question will be discussed in a lecture by career guidance specialist Natalya Cherkasova. The event is intended exclusively for parents, without the participation of children. As the end of school approaches, parents begin thinking about their children’s future and what profession they should choose. Now it’s more complicated than 15–20 years ago, and parents often worry about this question more than the teenagers themselves. Where does this anxiety come from, and how can you cope with it? In the lecture, parents will learn:

– what strategies exist for choosing a profession in conditions of instability;
– what the terms “multipotentialites,” “flexible educational trajectories,” and lifelong learning mean;
– how and where to gather information about universities and specialties;
– what to do if plans don’t work out.

Nowadays, it is recommended not to choose a specific profession for life, but rather the best starting point for a career. How to determine this starting point and develop different plans? This is what Natalya Cherkasova will talk about. Support from parents is important for building children’s confidence and ensuring their successful future. The expert’s advice will help guide a teenager in the right direction during this important period of life. Natalya Cherkasova is a career guidance specialist, an HR expert, author and host of career guidance games, courses, and modules on career choice and university selection, and also leads social projects in the LANIT group of companies.
