Vocational education can start at the age of 3.
At the meeting, the British career planning consultant suggested that children should receive vocational education from the age of 3, be trained from an early age, and have a correct career plan in order to have a better career and life.
Ms. SheilaSemple, an authoritative professional education expert and career planning consultant in the UK, said that children in the UK have a very perfect vocational education system at the age of 3- 18 to help them gradually realize and carry out their personal career planning.
Ms Sheila semple explained why children should receive vocational education from the age of 3. Because the correct career planning guidance is the result of the joint efforts of parents, schools and formal career planning departments, it should be cultivated from an early age. When a child starts to have a complete consciousness at the age of 3, he begins to educate, which is conducive to tapping his own potential according to his personal interests and specialties, thus establishing a correct career plan and having a more positive and beautiful life.
Vocational education "step by step"
Ms. Sheila semple introduced that British schools have a syllabus specially designed for students aged 3- 18, which systematically teaches vocational education courses to students. Parents will cooperate with the school to consciously let children observe how teachers work from kindergarten, pay attention to the working methods of different positions, and cultivate children's hobbies, thus establishing a general direction of children's career planning. Entering primary school is mainly due to the education and guidance of teachers. The school will set up various interest classes according to children's specialties and consciously establish long-term standardized learning. With the growth of age, the goal of career planning becomes more and more clear, and the corresponding career planning methods become more and more specific, including rebuilding confidence, helping to realize what opportunities there are in your career, how to make decisions on problems encountered in your work, and knowing what jobs you are suitable for. From vague awareness to gradually clear goals, career planning guidance follows the principle of "step by step".
The deficiency of children's vocational education in China
Dale Hong, an expert from Shanghai Xiangyang Career Management Co., Ltd., pointed out that in China, due to various reasons, young people's career education is very poor, which makes the vast majority of young people who just entered the workplace very helpless.
Experts attending the meeting believe that from the successful experience of vocational education and employment consultation in developed countries such as Britain, what China lacks and needs most at present is vocational education in primary schools, middle schools and universities (the most urgent thing at present is the college entrance examination and the choice of majors in universities). Parents and families should also actively participate in their children's career decisions. At present, parents in China generally lack knowledge of career planning.
