Building Your Toolbox and Supporting the Transition to Employment: Define Success at Work
October 22 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
As parents, guardians, and caregivers; you play an important part in the successful transition of a young adult into the workforce.
Session: Define Success at Work
This in-person session is focused on supporting your young adult to identify their workplace values and create a definition of what success will look like for them. You will learn how to work together to create an action plan that will identify if a potential job aligns with your young adult’s values, and to guide informed decision-making about potential job options. You will also learn how to recognize your own needs in your journey to supporting your young adult through their transition into employment.
In this in-person session, you will help your young adult to:
- Identify their workplace values
- Envision and define what success will mean to them
- Identify whether a potential job opportunity aligns with their values
