What keeps parents from discussing career planning with their children?

Several factors can cause parents to shy away from these discussions. Parents often worry about the fear of being overly directive toward their children.

As an expert and objective third party, career consultants can frame and facilitate the first of many constructive college and career conversations between parents and their children. Career Assessment results provide the tools for these discussions.
