The question of how to choose a profession for a child worries many parents. And most often - long before entering university. Determining the scope of future professional activity is not an easy task, because the child needs to help collect as much information as possible about the world around you, about your abilities and capabilities, without focusing on anything one. The more information he can get before this age, the easier it will be for him to make a choice. That is why it is important to lay the foundations already in adolescence, because the world is changing rapidly. It is unknown what will happen tomorrow, and it is unclear how to prepare for it.
We believe that the process of professional development can be made conscious and manageable. Worried about their children, parents often ask the question: “What should we teach them?” Traditional professions are disappearing, and new ones are appearing before our eyes. Yesterday I chose one direction for development, today I started training, and tomorrow it will be outdated. And the interests of our children change at no less speed. They intuitively adapt to the world, try everything that comes into their field of vision. They start and quit, change their choices, trying to understand what interests them.
One education, one profession, one job for life - this is the last century. We live in a multi-career reality. We adults already change the vector of professional development from 1 to 3 times in our lives, sometimes radically Ours children will We, adults, already change the vector of professional development from 1 to 3 times in our lives, sometimes radically. Our children will do this even more often.
In order to self-realize and become successful, they will have to constantly learn, catch a new wave, be ready to change the trajectory of their professional movement and build their career again more than once. This is exactly what they need to be prepared for.
But how can you help your child choose a profession? And the question here is not so much professional as psychological. Therefore, it is important for parents:
- help children better understand themselves: their talents, interests, desires, values. This is the foundation on which they can rely, no matter what happens in the outside world;
- develop maximum flexibility and adaptability to an ever-changing world;
- cultivate a life-long learning attitude, or continuous learning. This is something they will have to live with. Without this internal attitude, tomorrow we may all find ourselves unclaimed;
- learn what artificial intelligence cannot yet do;
- stimulate their curiosity and investigative attitude;
- encourage independence in decision-making and take responsibility for them;
- learn to analyze the labor market and professions, see and understand trends.

We will choose the direction that is best suited to realize the interests, abilities and goals of everyone.
