The Parent Perspective

So many young people start their working lives in sectors like retail or hospitality, but how can they turn that first job into a career? In this episode of the Parent Perspective, host Rachel Burden is joined by someone who has done just that.

Louisa Ellis reached the final three of Masterchef: the Professionals back in 2017 before returning to win a special festive episode in 2020. She tells Rachel how she's followed her dreams and forged a career in cooking, working her way from from Michelin starred kitchens to running her own private dining business.

The Parent Perspective, hosted by BBC presenter Rachel Burden, was created to help parents and carers support their children in making more informed career decisions with greater confidence, knowledge and understanding.

In each episode we will share your experiences of navigating career conversations with your children and provide insights into how the world of work is changing from trusted experts, organisations and employers already working with young people today.

If you have any questions that you need answers to, you can join the conversation on social media by following @AmazingAppsUK and @NotGoingToUni and using the hashtag #parentperspective.
