Webinar: From College to Career: How Parents Can Support Their Student’s Launch

Webinar for parents who want to better understand what today’s job market requires and how to support their student without adding pressure.

In this session, we cover what employers are really looking for, why internships and applied experience matter more than ever, how AI is reshaping entry-level roles, and what parents can do now to help their student build momentum.

If you’re trying to help your student launch more intentionally, this webinar offers practical insight and next steps.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Employers want more than a degree. They want skills, experience, and evidence of readiness.

  • Internships and applied learning often make the biggest difference in career outcomes.

  • Summer is one of the best times for students to build momentum before fall recruiting begins.

  • Parents can be most helpful by encouraging reflection, exploration, and small next steps.

  • Career readiness is not built all at once. It grows through consistent action over time.
