Introduction to Coaching Skills
Introduction to Career Coaching Skills online course was created out of a growing need for professionals in Career Development Industry. We all know that our careers can have a huge impact on us, but many of us find it difficult to navigate the system and make informed decisions. We are changing our careers five to seven times throughout our lives and have many jobs in between.
If you are looking for some guidance in your professional life, then the Introduction to Career Coaching Skills is exactly what you need. This course will teach students everything they could ever want or expect from an introduction into this field: why people choose one path over another; how each profession can benefit others by teaching them about their own strengths through analysis of weaknesses (and vice versa); as well tips on getting clients hooked so that when it's time harvest profits there'll be plenty leftovers!
No longer are employers responsible for an employee’s career development, rather it is now up to employees to manage their own careers.
The Introduction to Career Coaching Skills course will be viewed from both perspectives of the career counselor/coach and the client. Both parties form the client/coaching relationship.
