How to talk to your teens about career & study choices
Empower Youth
Help Your Teen Discover Who They Are and What’s Next
In just five weeks, your teen will go from uncertainty to clarity—starting with a blank page and finishing with a clear sense of who they are, what matters to them and which career paths align with their strengths, interests and values.
This isn’t about handing them answers. It’s about drawing them out. Through expert coaching, guided self-discovery and real-world conversations, they’ll uncover their own direction with confidence and purpose.
-
Teens uncertain about study or career choices.
High school students looking for more in-depth and personalised career guidance.
Young people feeling lost and unmotivated.
Teenagers wanting career guidance based on strengths.
Those who want to build confidence in their strengths, passions and interests.
Young people needing tools to make decisions - and act!
Those ready to take the next step: Identifying 3 - 5 career options and talking to real people in those jobs.
-
Week 1 – "Who Are You?"
Uncover passions through guided questions, personality and interests profiling tools. (“I didn’t realise I loved so many things” - Ty)Week 2 – "What Are You Great At?"
Leverage strengths profiling to show teens how much talent they already have. (“I’ve never stopped to look at myself—this has been really helpful.” - Gus)Week 3 – "What Matters to You?"
Define values and what gives life meaning. Getting to know what’s important to them. (“I learnt what I value and how I want to help and make a difference” - Lee)Week 4 – "What Could You Do?"
Identify 3–5 strong career options that align with who they are. (“Helped me gain more confidence in my potential career options and realising it’s possible for me to work in the career field I’m interested in” - Linkin)Week 5 – "Step Into Real Careers"
Take action: Speak to at least one person working in a chosen field and complete research into their preferred career choices. This builds real‑world confidence and communication skills—by week 5 they’re ready to have career conversations with composure and clarity. (“I believe in myself more, in the beginning I didn’t know anything about myself and my options, I know myself better now and I have options of careers I can choose” - Julia)This process works - every time!
-
Teens already hold the answers inside—they just need the space and questions to uncover them.
Through the course, they are guided through reflective questions, personality profiling, strengths and interests surveys to help them build their own choices. No longer based on guesswork - using cutting-edge tools to guide career decisions.
It's about stepping into who they really are and then taking confident action.
They are held accountable throughout the process and you are supported too, with guidance on how to support them through the 5 week journey and beyond.

Most career programmes for teens use a one-size-fits-all model:
Take a test
Get a report
Have someone tell your teen who they are and what they should do.
But if you’ve ever tried that approach, you know it doesn’t stick - because it doesn’t feel like theirs.
We don’t put teens in a box. We help them break out of one.
Over five powerful weeks, your teen is guided to:
Discover who they are — in their own words
Build confidence and clarity — without pressure or judgement
Explore career options and real-life pathways that align with their strengths, values and interests
Take meaningful action toward their next step
This isn’t about telling your teen what to do.
It’s about giving them the tools, space and support to figure it out for themselves — and feel proud of the direction they choose.
Because when teens own the process, the confidence sticks.
And that changes everything.While most teens get just 30 rushed minutes with their college career adviser, Empower Youth gives them around six hours of guided sessions plus personalised homework - they get time, tools and personal attention in a group of only four, to actually figure out what they want — and the confidence to go after it.
“Our daughter was really struggling with direction heading into her tertiary education, she was doing very well at school but wasn't sure where her strengths could take her. Louise has provided our daughter with clarity and direction and is now fully focused on what she wants to achieve in her tertiary years and beyond. Even our daughters' teachers commented to us at the last parent teacher interviews, they have noticed the change and added drive. Thank you, Louise, your course has made the entry to tertiary education so much simpler and exciting for us and our daughter.” - Gemma
