August 12 is the United Nations International Youth Day.

As a #careerdevelopmentprofessional who is also a parent I’m often asked when I think is an ideal time to educate kids and youth about careers. My answer: It begins with our own mindsets the moment a child is born. Since day one we help them develop skills and experiences critical to their #careerdevelopment and #lifelong#success: from interacting with families and caregivers, #self-regulating and managing BIG feelings, to discovering interests and strengths.


Further resources I’d recommend to inform and improve #careerconversations with #youth:


CERIC's The Early Years: Career Development for Young Children (resources for both educators and families):


OECD-OCDE's Career Readiness project (check out the “What’s New?” column for a policy brief and working papers exploring the youth perspective on work and recommendations for schools, courtesy of thought leaders such as Anthony Mann):
