1. Parent-led groups: These groups can be formed to address the challenges faced by students, allowing parents to come together to find solutions. Additionally, these groups can serve as a support network where parents share their burdens, pray for each other, and eventually share their testimonies.
2. Guest speakers: Parents with various skill sets will be invited to speak to students about how they can engage in different professions. They will also provide guidance on relevant subjects to study and potential workplaces.
