Развитие профориентационного потенциала семьи — залог успешного профессионального самоопределения подростков

Abstract

Optimized way to nurture parents’ readiness to guide vocational choice of their teenaged children is considered as a consistent element of vocational
 guidance potential and is scientifically proved. What makes the paper theoretically important, is the fact that the author clarifies the meaning for quite
 new concepts, as «family vocational guidance potential», «parents’ helpfulness», «successful vocational choice». Families are classified in terms of
 vocational guidance potential; several limitations in vocational choices of children in each category of families are outlined and illustrated by pictures
 and tables. Given the accented challenge of insufficient parents’ integration in vocational choices, made by their children, the idea of pilot testing
 described here, has been to use capabilities of additional professional education establishments to better preparing parents to the mission of facilitating
 the vocational choices of their children. As a result of parents-children cooperation, the parents are better prepared and eager to help their children in
 professional self-determination on one hand, while teenagers make more thoughtful vocational choices, on the other hand. Significant results and
 conclusions are provided, to prove reliability of researching hypothesis, put forward by the author.
