OUR MISSION
We in the MassHire Metro South-West Region have created this career exploration series to help students in our area learn more about high-demand careers here, the projected salaries for those roles, the steps students need to take to reach their goals, and the resources that can help them get there. Tell us who you are below to get started.
FOR PARENTS OR GUARDIANS
The workforce has changed since you entered it. Many of the jobs that exist today were not even created when you graduated from high school, and the pace of change is faster than ever! However, since work skills are transferable to many jobs, by helping your child connect what they learn in the classroom to real jobs that interest them, they will graduate better equipped for life after high school.
THANK YOU!
Thank you for talking with your child about their future career options! Encourage them to discover what jobs interest them by working through the steps provided in this resource. Once you know what jobs might interest your child, you can help them further by asking people in your community who work in those jobs to share more information about their careers or maybe even arrange a visit to their workplace. Don’t forget to share your own work experiences, too. And last, but not least, go with your child to meet with their school counselor to get them moving in the right direction academically. Help them prepare for their future…today.
