For employers and schools

Help parents help their teenagers find their path

Many parents have a 16–24 year old who is stuck or unsure what to do next. Shine gives families clear routes, real entry-level opportunities and a plan their young person actually owns.

The problem

  • 71%

    of parents feel overwhelmed by the number of options open to their child.

    Source: Talking Futures (Gatsby Foundation), survey of 2,000 parents in England.

  • 79%

    of parents feel their child has no clear idea what to do after school or college.

    Source: YouGov for EY and GTI Media, 1,018 parents.

  • 981,000

    young people aged 16–24 were not in education, employment or training (Apr–Jun 2026).

    Source: ONS, August 2026.

Parents are the biggest influence on their child's choices, but most don't feel equipped. That worry comes to work with them.

Parents' talks that make your careers programme work at home

“Your child's next step” is a talk and Q&A for parents and carers at parents' evenings, options evenings, results events or as a standalone evening. It covers the routes after school (jobs, apprenticeships, college, university), how young people actually get a first job, and how parents can help without nagging.

Helps you meet the statutory careers guidance expectation to engage parents and carers throughout your careers programme.
