In the spring of their third year, students practice career skills, such as job interviews, with their coach in the Advanced Coaching Program. During each of the Coaching Programs, students work in groups of 4-5 on exercises that require them to work effectively together. More than 800 volunteers are needed each year to help with this cutting-edge program. The coaches provide an invaluable service to the students by helping them understand the variety of skills needed for success in the working world. Alumni who serve as coaches have told us repeatedly of how much they have used their coaching experience in their work.
Coaches learn valuable leadership skills.
They learn to spot and assess talent, how to coach in a diverse world, and how to help those who work with them to continue their personal development, among other skills.
