- Careers
Choosing a career can be complicated. When we’re young, we have our whole lives ahead of us, but that can often feel suffocating or intimidating for students who aren’t sure what they want, but are being pressured to make important decisions before they’re ready.
That’s why our guest this week, Beth Probst, set out to change the course of career prep for teenagers for good. She saw that kids as early as middle school needed comprehensive guidance to figure out what really makes them tick and wanted to give them the tools they need to explore on their own.
In this episode, we talk about what career development tactics are actually helpful to teenagers, what kids can do to prepare for college, and how Beth’s company has developed tools that actually help kids set themselves up for career success all the way through college.
If you’re still in school, or a parent of a child who is starting to think about what their future will look like, this episode will give you the guidance to start preparing for the future now.
Key Topics:
Using joyful exploration to help kids figure out what makes them tick Starting a career in tech as a sales engineer and moving up the corporate ladder Preparation + opportunity = luck Failure is feedback Transitioning from the safety of a stable job to entrepreneurship Getting to the core of teenagers’ needs, skills, strengths, and values Hiring others to help with the work vs. doing all the work yourself The benefits of the test and learn mentality Filling the need for educational path planning for kids Kids are extremely skeptical of the value of higher education How to leave college with marketable skills that get you hired Combating career illiteracy Getting kids to be willing and open to receive guidance on career planning Internships vs. co-ops Easing the transition from college to career
