It’s not parenting, per se. But I’ve been nurturing something new for many months, and I’m excited to share with you its entry to the world. Today, TIME for Kids launched Your 🔥 Job, a free digital platform that introduces kids ages 8 to 14 to the ever-expanding world of careers.

Using research-backed skills assessment, curated videos, and articles featuring industry leaders in cool careers—including well-known actors, astronauts, artists, and athletes—Your 🔥 Job invites children to explore a variety of paths to a future of meaningful work.

If, like me, you could use some support in helping your kids navigate the new world of work, our guide for families will spark conversations about career planning. I hope you’ll check it out. Please share any feedback—including suggestions for careers we might cover—at andrea@time.com.

Best,
Andrea
