Resources for ParentsWhat role do parents play and how can they help? There are many things that parents can do to promote career awareness and success! Encourage your daughter or son to do the following: - Explore different majors and careers.
They can try an interest test, research various career fields in our career library, take classes that interest them, and try out various options through internships, summer jobs, etc. - Get involved at Puget Sound!
