Subject choices get made at thirteen and fourteen, and the consequences land at eighteen. Most of that decision runs between a child, a teacher and a form with a deadline on it, while the world those choices point at keeps moving underneath them.
Careers is a series of four online evenings for parents, run by Genius Premium Tuition with About Mind, a Cape Town career guidance practice. Each evening takes one of the big questions in subject choice and careers as they are now. Every session stands on its own, so come to one or come to all four.
The promise: you will leave understanding what the decision in front of your child actually settles, and what to do next, whether or not you ever use a tutor or a career assessment. This is information, not a sales pitch.
This is the session that reframes the rest of the series. What the world of work is actually becoming, why the single clear path most parents planned around has gone, and what has replaced it. Largely questions and discussion.
What we'll cover
- The shift from job titles to capabilities.
- What AI genuinely changes, and what it does not.
- Why careers have stopped running in a straight line.
- Why career anxiety now begins around age thirteen.
- What career guidance really is: a mirror, not a map.
