PARENTAL INFLUENCE AND CAREER GUIDANCE IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Abstract

Choosing a career path in the digital era can be quite a challenge for the younger generation. Of course, parents play a very influential role in determining their children's future, as parenting styles and parental support can boost self-confidence. Guidance counselors have the task of educating parents on appropriate parenting styles. In addition, Guidance counselors also provide a platform for students to explore themselves and discover their true identity in terms of future achievements and careers. A qualitative approach through interviews and data analysis shows that the importance of collaboration between parents and Guidance counselors in planning children's futures in this digital era needs to be taken into consideration so that children can develop optimally.
