Speaker: Mark Franklin - Preparing for university or college and connecting the dots between education and career When? Wednesday, November 14th 7:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Where? Room 215 Transitioning from high school to university or college can be both an exciting and stressful time for students and parents. Making choices about programs, and how to prepare for post-secondary success and future career paths requires important discussions between students and their parents as well as access to the right information. This session will help parents connect the dots between education and career resulting in more clarity and confidence. The linkages between degree programs and the world work will be explored as well as the skills and resources to select programs and establish success right from first year. We'll look at parents' influence and roles, and ways to give students a wider range of permission, in terms of educational and career areas. In a dynamic and interactive session we'll cover: * Linkage Between Education & Careers * First Year Success and Program Choices * Clarifying strengths, desires, and other people's influences * The Changing Role of Parents Presenter Bio: Mark Franklin,M.Ed.,P.Eng.,CMF, is practice leader of CareerCycles<http://www.careercycles.com/>, a career management social enterprise based in Toronto.
