Many of us grew up with a clear formula for success:
我們在成長過程中，不時都被灌輸這套公式以達致眾人眼中的成功：
Study hard → Choose a "stable" profession → Succeed in life
Today, that path looks very different for students growing up in Canada. Canadian universities have shifted significantly from traditional “Well-Rounded” student to “Spiky Student” in recent years. They expect students to excel not just in school, but also in extracurriculars, leadership roles, and community involvement to build a strong portfolio.
Parents of high school students now face practical questions:
- How important are grades compared to skills?
- How is preparation for university different for our children today?
- What if our child’s interests don’t match traditional career paths?
- How do we support them without increasing stress?
From “What Should They Become?” to “Who Are They Becoming?”
The future career landscape is unpredictable, and many jobs our kids will do don’t exist yet.
Join Across U-hub for a practical conversation tailored to parents of high school students. Bring your real questions and concerns, and experience open, interactive discussions together.
努力讀書 → 選擇「穩定」的職業 → 成功人士
今時今日，這條道路對於在加拿大成長的學生而言，已經大不相同。近年，本地大學已大幅從傳統的「全面發展型（Well-Rounded）」學生取向，轉向重視「尖峰型（Spiky）」學生。他們期望學生不僅在學業上表現出色，同時在課外活動、領導角色及社區參與方面均需要有所投入，以建立一個具競爭力且全面的個人履歷。
現今高中生的家長，正切身地面對以下問題：
- 成績與技能相比，孰輕孰重？
- 如今孩子預備升讀大學的方式，跟以往有何不同？
- 如果孩子的興趣並不符合傳統職涯路線，家長該怎樣看待？
- 應如何在不增加孩子壓力的情況下，給予適切的支持？
從「孩子將來應該要做什麼？」到「孩子正在成為怎樣的人？」
未來的職場世界是充滿不確定性，孩子將來從事的許多工作或工種，今天甚至尚未出現。
誠邀您參加 Across U-hub 為高中生家長而設的實用對談講座，帶上您現實中遇到的疑問與關注，一同參與開放而互動的交流與討論。
