Career Conversation – Name a major local industry or employer

Do you know the types of industries and jobs that are most likely to be available in your local area?

Knowing these options are out there can be useful when young people are planning their path from school to work.

Use this conversation starter as a PDF or print it out. The best time to chat is when you’re all together and not in a rush, so at dinner time for example, or during a longer car ride. If finding a time when you’re all together is tricky, you can also use a group message to get people talking.
