Academic achievement alone will not prepare teens for the AI-era workplace. This 90-minute workshop for parents and caregivers focuses on the social-emotional competencies — self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making — that form the foundation for workplace readiness.

Top employers agree. In a January 2025 Education Week feature, Google's global head of education impact, Jennie Magiera, named these exact CASEL competencies as traits her teams prize, noting that Google values social-emotional skills as much as technical talent.¹ Microsoft's vice- president of education, Paige Johnson, added that the top skills needed to navigate complexity and change in the age of AI remain uniquely human.¹ These "durable human skills" also underpin the capabilities the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 identifies as essential for tomorrow's workforce, including resilience, flexibility, creative thinking, and lifelong learning.²

Led by Heather Thompson of Attachment Matters, LLC, the session explores how attachment styles shape a child's capacity to develop these competencies and thrive. You'll leave with practical strategies to build the secure foundation your teen needs for future career readiness.
