Building Your Toolbox and Supporting the Transition to Employment: Consider Different Work Options

As parents, guardians, and caregivers; you play an important part in the successful transition of a young adult into the workforce. 

Session: Consider Different Work Options

This in-person session is focused on the different options available to a young adult entering the workforce. You will learn about different tools that will help you to frame conversations related to employment, and answer the fundamental question, “Where do we start?”. You will also learn about how to recognize and support your own needs through the process of supporting your young adult on this journey.

In this in-person session, you will:

  • Identify your needs and expectations about the process of supporting your young adult through their employment journey
  • Learn about different work options that are available to your young adult
  • Gain access to resources and tools that will help guide conversations about employment with your young adult

This series introduces you to The Sinneave Family Foundation’s Family Work Readiness Toolkit (FWRT), a practical, strengths-based resource designed to help youth explore their interests, skills, values, and preferred work environments. You will learn how to use the toolkit to guide supportive conversations, set goals, and take meaningful action toward employment success.

Through this series, you will:

  • Build confidence in supporting your young adult’s employment journey
  • Learn how to apply the FWRT at home to break the process into manageable steps
  • Explore community resources that complement the toolkit
  • Connect with other parents and guardians navigating similar experiences

By the end of the series, you will have a stronger understanding of how to support your young adult’s transition into the workforce with practical tools, shared insight, and a clear starting point.
