1:1 Coaching
Our brains are like muscles. Without practice, they weaken. Do not let your student fall behind once they graduate.
What is 1:1 coaching?
Your student will meet 1-to-1 with an employment specialist to provide personalized guidance and support to help them clarify their career goals, identify strengths and areas for development, explore career options, and create a plan to achieve their professional objectives.
These sessions will involve discussing career interests, skills, values, and aspirations, as well as providing feedback, advice, and resources to help the student make informed decisions about their career path. You can meet 1:1 either virtually or in-person.
