Asset-Based Coaching

Your job title might be “job coach” or “career coach” but what exactly does this mean? How do we “coach” our job seekers and help them prepare for employment? Coaching is a technique we can use with our clients to build on their current strengths and develop actionable, long-term goals. This requires building trust and demonstrating empathy with our job seekers. In this course, we’ll discuss the coaching method and how to use a strengths-based approach with participants.
 

Topics covered include:

• Defining and utilizing a “coaching” model with job seekers
• Building empathy and trust with our job seekers
• Celebrating our job seekers’ strengths and accomplishments

Audience:
This course is for frontline staff and case managers who work directly with clients.
