Parent Seminar - Empowering parents to give better career advice

If there is one moment that marks when a parent has begun to send a child into the world of adult decision-making, it is surely when they first sit down together to consider career options.

What careers best suit the child? Which ones are realistic study options? And how do you choose the institution and course of study?

False Bay TVET College would like to help you make an informed decision about your child's future career choice, so that they can get the best start in life. Join us at any one of our five campuses for a free seminar to discuss False Bay TVET College as an education institution of choice at our Open Day on Saturday, 18 August 2018.

Whether you are looking for a post-matric or a vocational Grade 10–12 study option, False Bay TVET College will assist parents by offering vital information at the Parent Seminar. Our academic staff and Student Support Officers will be on hand for a personal consultation. The engagement will benefit parents and guardians of learners in Grades 9–12.

Topics include:

• Background to TVET: and the SA education landscape, and the critical role we play in building the economy.
  
• What are the differences between School, College and University?
  
• How subject choices affect future study and career options.
  
• College Programmes: the entry requirements and how the curriculum is structured.
  
• Tour of the campus facilities.
  
• Student Support and Development Services: adjusting to college life.
  
• The application process.
  
• Financial Aid.

Parents, please empower yourself so that you can help your child reach their full potential. Your encouragement and support could be the stepping stone to your child to making a viable career choice in a sector with good employability prospects.
