Support for Parents • Property Needs You

We're here for you

Chatting to your kids about careers can be confusing, we get it. There’s so much to choose from, and so many routes in. This is where we come in. We have a number of resources such as quizzes, case studies, route explanations, job profiles, and videos to help support you and your child’s conversation.

How to use our resources

You can find out more about the property industry either by yourself before you chat to your child, or together as you go. Depending on the sort of person your child is, you’ll know best what kind of resource they’ll engage best with. That’s why we have a range of activities for different styles of learners.

Different sectors, different paths

As with any industry, there are lots of different jobs and fields within property. So maybe your child doesn’t want to plan, but likes designing. Maybe they’re more into conservation than construction. This section will give you more detail about all the different options open to them, and what they need to do to get there.
