School-Based Career Path Programs

Thank you for taking the time to participate in our survey. Through this research we aim to explore the current status of education surrounding self-discovery and career development programs in the tween (youths aged 9-14) age group.

Our focuses are on the importance of implementing a school-based self-discovery program to this age group (as the first step towards more career-focused learning in future), barriers to achieving this and what role gender bias has to play. We are looking to make our research as diverse as possible and so are looking to have a wide variety of socioeconomic communities, state, faith and independent schools participate.

Please note, any responses will remain anonymous, although we welcome any future discussions, so please reach out if you’re interested in talking further. 

THANK YOU for your time! Please enter your email at the end of the survey to go into the draw to WIN 1 of 2 ANNUAL TWINKLE 'EXTRA' SUBSCRIPTIONS...
