Supporting First Nations kids toward career success: A yarn with parents and carers
Wednesday 13 March, 1:00pm – 2:00pm (AEDT)
We all want a good job with a good wage, right? And as parents and carers, that’s what we want for our kids too. But our definitions of ‘good’ aren’t always the same. And who is the ‘we’ referred to by each of us? Unfortunately, First Nations kids often struggle to express their cultural values in their schooling and employment, struggling to balance the values and motivations of themselves and their mob with those expected in their schools, the world of work, and Australian society at large.
Tracy Ryan, Educational Designer (First Nations) invites you to join her in a yarn about how First Nations success is defined and shaped. Tracy will offer some ideas about First Nations cultural values around education and employment, to start a conversation about how parents and carers can support First Nations kids to envision, plan for, and achieve the kind of career that works for them and their community.
