INNOTECH Podcast Ep. 11: Start Small, Dream Big – Helping Children Discover Their Future

Continuing the conversation on Career Development for Children (CD4C), this episode moves from understanding why career development should begin early to exploring how it can be put into practice in schools. Dr. Leonor E. Diaz and Ms. Mary Grace D. Espinosa discuss how the CD4C Toolkit provides teachers and guidance designates with practical, teacher-friendly activities, step-by-step procedures, learning materials, and adaptable options for different classroom and community contexts.

The conversation also highlights how career development can be integrated into existing learning experiences rather than treated as a separate activity. The guests explore the role of social-emotional and foundational skills, family participation, community-based career experiences, and contextualized activities in helping children understand themselves, appreciate different kinds of work, and discover possibilities for their future.
