Child and Career

GANT Discussion Club: “Child and Career” ❓️ When does a child’s journey toward a future career begin? At this GANT Discussion Club meeting, we’ll look at that journey from two perspectives: from the development of a child’s personality to their professional fulfilment and entry into the labour market.

🎤 TWO EXPERTS — TWO PERSPECTIVES

IREN TOMSKI
A human resources and recruitment specialist with 15 years of experience, a career guidance counsellor and a certified career specialist. Iren helps children and teenagers explore their interests and abilities, choose a suitable career path, and prepare for applications and interviews.

🎤 KATERINA KABANOVA-TIRKKONEN
An expert in personality psychology, mediator, founder of the “SOMELJE COMMUNICATION” school, and mother of a daughter and a son.

WE’LL DISCUSS:
— how to recognise a child’s potential;
— how confidence and the ability to make choices develop;
— what skills matter for success in a profession;
— where the line lies between supporting and pressuring a child in their career choice;
— what it really means to raise a “million-dollar child”;
— how to tell whether a chosen profession is right for them;
— how to help a child choose a direction without choosing for them;
— what to do when a child still doesn’t know what they want to be;
— how to explore professions and try them out before applying;
— how to teach a teenager to speak confidently about themselves, their strengths and achievements.
