Future careers for our kids 

Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Thursday, 21 May 2026 - 1 hour 2 minutes

What do children really want to be when they grow up? We explore why more young people are looking at careers in IT and cybersecurity, with insights from a cybersecurity lecturer at De Montfort University Dubai. 

Career counsellor Maria V explains why parents need to help children understand the world of work without pushing them into paths they don’t want. 


And Tyler Edmonds from the School of Popular Music shares how guitar, singing and performance can build confidence, creativity and self-expression in kids.
