Making effective decisions about the future comes from learning about yourself and the world around you from an early age. Children and young people can do this by exploring how they relate to other people and considering what they hope to achieve. Through career education, you can enable children and young people at all stages to develop self-awareness, recognise opportunities and develop an understanding of the important transition periods in their lives.
