This study examines the influence of parental education and behaviors on adolescents' career exploration. The participants were 236 9th‐grade students in German middle‐track schools. The results indicated that parental authoritativeness, openness to adolescents' issues, and concern with promoting career exploration significantly related to the career exploration by their children, independent of parental educational background and adolescent gender.
