Add to My ArticlesPTA Goes to Work - Exploring

Welcome to the world of Exploration! Your quest toward finding a job or a career – whether you’re a student or a parent – begins here.

Why Wait?

Children begin exploring and thinking about careers almost from the day they first begin exploring and thinking about the world around them.

As “super achiever-ish” as it may seem, it’s really never too early to start thinking in earnest about life after high school. It can be stressful for parents to talk with their child about a job or career, but relax: the mere act of discussing future job prospects doesn’t mean locking your 13-year-old into a career path that he deviates from at his peril.

What You Will Find

The information available through PTA Goes to Work can help both you and your child begin thinking about the future, how to explore the child’s natural strengths and interests, and how to ask the right questions at the right time.

But if you’re a parent who’s considering a return to the workforce – or a change of careers – you’ll find plenty of help here as well, as we’ll assist you in finding information on jobs available in your area, including those from the fastest growing, most in-demand industries in your area and in the United States.

The world of exploration begins here.
