For Parents

They don’t know what to do.You don’t know how to help.

Work Sync is a visual, video-based career exploration tool that helps your young person discover work possibilities they'll want to explore.

Move the conversation forward

“What do you want to do for work?”

There’s a shrug, a grimace or maybe an eye roll. You decide to give them space. But time keeps passing.

You worry they’ll drift, lose confidence, miss possibilities – or end up stuck in studying or work that doesn’t suit them.

You want them to find something they feel positive about – a reason of their own to get involved, to put the effort in, and to keep going.

Or maybe you just want them to make a start.

Here’s how Work Sync can help them get there.

From work interests to their own shortlist

  1. Watch and respond

    Short, engaging videos bring different work activities to life. They just respond to one simple question: “Does this interest you?”

  2. Understand their interests

    Their downloadable Work Interest Summary brings their responses together into a clearer picture of the work that appeals to them.

  3. Explore and choose

    Wayfinder broadens their view of occupations. They build a Saved List of possibilities to help them narrow their focus to kickstart their next steps.

Overview of Work Sync

Start with a question they can answer

They watch short videos of different kinds of work in action, then answer one simple question: “Does this interest you?” They just tap a tick, a cross or a question mark if they’re unsure. No written answers required.

They don’t need to know job titles or have a career in mind. In just 15 minutes, they can have a clearer picture of what interests them – ready to explore where those interests could lead.

A clearer picture of their work interests

Their responses come together in a personalised Work Interest Summary, showing patterns in the kinds of work activities they find appealing, those they’re unsure about and those that hold less interest.

They can download it to share with you or a career advisor. It gives them a way to describe their interests – and gives conversations about their future a clearer starting point.

Possibilities they want to explore

Wayfinder connects their work interests with occupations, including jobs they may never have considered. They can read about what each job involves and its typical tasks, moving beyond the job title to understand the work itself.

As they explore, they build their own Saved List of occupations they want to investigate further. They can download and share that shortlist, then use it to research work experience, training, study or employment options.

What I really liked was how easy my son found Work Sync to use and how engaged he was with it. He was surprised by how many options there were, including jobs he'd never heard of, and felt it gave him a really good starting point for thinking about what he might do next.”

Why their work interests matter

You might be wondering how recognising their interests can help them work out what to do next.

It's about creating a special kind of motivation that comes from within - when they feel genuinely interested in what they're doing.

When a direction feels meaningful to them, learning new skills, putting in effort and persisting through challenges can have a purpose they understand.

Work Sync helps them find possibilities they want to investigate – and gives you a practical way to support their next steps.

Knowledge they can build on at every stage

Work Sync isn't a one-off report. They can return as their thinking develops, revisit their interests, continue building their understanding of the world of work and refine the possibilities they want to investigate.

Still at school

Use their work interests to explore subject choices and identify work experience that could provide useful exposure.

Preparing to leave school

Investigate further study, training, apprenticeships and early jobs connected with the kinds of work they find interesting.

Finding direction after school

Explore occupations, compare possibilities and reconsider earlier choices when they're still unsure or when their direction changes.

A shared language for better conversations

Grounded in vocational psychology, Work Sync organises the world of work into eight broad Work Themes and 24 more specific Work Domains.

That structure gives young people and the people supporting them a shared language for discussing what interests them, which occupations are worth investigating and what they could explore next.
