Social Media and Career Advice
In this section, the speakers discuss the importance of social media in career advice and how it can be used to engage with young people and parents.
Using Social Media for Career Advice
- Vlogging about supporting young people with careers can be a great way to engage with them.
- There is still an audience on social media, especially among parents who are active on platforms like Facebook.
- TikTok and Instagram Reels are great platforms for short-form video content that can easily trend.
Challenges in Providing Career Advice
- The term "go speak to your careers advisor" is often used as a throwaway line without providing enough guidance.
- Some students may not even know who their careers advisor is or where to find them.
- Teachers who are not careers advisors need more education on how to advise their students on career options.
Consistency in Providing Career Advice
- Consistency is key when it comes to providing career advice. It's important to keep engaging with young people and parents consistently over time.
