The Dream Job Factory is coming – Summer 2025!

During the summer of 2025, Bill Priestley will be available to come to your school, church, PTA, or civic organization and give a free presentation on how to prepare and deal with your child when it comes to choosing a career path. Bill will go over:

1. What is the best time to talk to your teenagers about possible careers they want to pursue.
2. How your relationship with your child will change as they move from high school to life after graduation.
3. How you can best manage this relationship if your teenager has decided to go after a career that you don’t think is a good idea.
4. How your child’s attitude will change over the course of their life when it comes to choosing a career path.
5. How you can work together to determine a career goal that both of you can get behind and support.

This presentation is also available via webinar (not free – see below) if your group is interested in getting the information in a web presentation.

About Bill

Bill Priestley developed The Dream Job Blueprint in graduate school in 2012 as part of a master’s degree project on how to help young people figure out what they want to do with their lives professionally. Since then, he has presented to high school and college students in North Carolina and continues to do that now in Tennessee. He is currently working on a book called “The Dream Job Blueprint” which will be for parents and how they can help their children make the best choices in their own career searches.

Questions about the presentation

1. Who is the intended audience for this presentation? The intended audience is strictly for parents and how they can help their children – age 11-20. The people who get the most out of this presentation will be parents of teens who are freshmen and sophomores in high school, but anyone with teenagers from 11 up to age 20 will get great insight from this presentation. However, It is not a good idea to bring those children/teens to the presentation.
2. Will there be a sales pitch in this presentation? No. Persons who attend the presentation may inquire about products or services after the presentation has concluded, but there will be no sales pitches during the presentation. Attendants may be asked if they would like to join an email list unless the venue or sponsoring organization would prefer that not happen.
3. Can this presentation be delivered via webinar? Yes, but that will come at a cost of $10 per connection to pay for the webinar infrastructure with a limit of 200 connections. That fee can be paid by individuals connecting to the program or by the sponsoring organization in one payment.
4. Can this presentation be given in a church to a Christian faith-based audience? Yes. The Dream Job Blueprint is rooted in Christian theology based around the command to serve others through one’s gifts and talents.
5. For the in-person version, will Bill need a television or projection screen as part of the presentation? If it is possible, that would be great but it is not necessary.
6. What, if anything, is required of the attendees of this presentation? Very simply, an open mind towards helping young people figure out what they want to do with their lives.
7. Will the live presentation be recorded? With the permission of the sponsoring organization, the presentation will be video recorded (not streamed) for marketing purposes but no attendees’ faces will be in the recording.
8. What is Bill’s goal for this presentation? Bill’s goal is to help parents help their kids make these tough decisions about career and how a student can use their education to maximize their efforts to gain that career as reasonably quickly as possible. Every child is different, but each one will run into the same questions as everyone else regardless of what career they eventually choose. With that, Bill aims to help parents ask the right questions and be able to set up the framework so that both parent and teenager can support a plan they build together towards attaining a dream career. By the end of the presentation, parents should feel empowered, willing, and able to help their kids make the best decisions for their lives.
