1) The document discusses a study on the additional competencies needed by career teachers/leaders to support parents in their child's career development and education planning. Six Dutch career teachers participated in designing and implementing a four-session parent-involved career intervention. 2) The career teachers found their existing practice differed in that they previously had no insight into parents' actual questions and contact was limited. Additional competencies identified included knowledge of parent roles, designing interactive sessions, and an attitude of empathy for parents' needs. 3) Tutors and teachers also need competencies to cooperate with career teachers in supporting parents and students, requiring renewed organizational agreements.
