People often ask me what a Career Coach does in the district. Truthfully it can vary by the needs and size of the district. One thing most have in common, meeting one-on-one with students. But there is more, and their work compliments the work of the school counselor.

Below is a list of things you might hear a Career Coach say they do:
  • Meeting in a large group with every student grades 7-12 and getting them on the Ohio Means Jobs website and completing  the Career Cluster Inventory
  • Meeting with every student in grades 8-12 individually to follow up on career plans, including going to the local Tech High School or college
  • Meeting with every Senior to assist with college choice, seeking financial aid, etc
  • Hold a Financial Aid Information night for parents
  • Meeting with the 6th grade students to have them complete the Career Cluster Inventory
  • Accompanied the sophomores on their trip to the tech school and following up with them on their choices
  • Organized a visit to local colleges and universities.
  • Planned a Middle school career day.
  • Attended training days which included business field trips.
  • ​Met with school counselors to make sure work was not being replicated.

The job of a career coach is to make you a competent professional. But for that, you have to be honest with yourself and with your career coach. No doubt, the path to job contentment is winding. Working with a career coach will give a chance to navigate the intricacies of your walk of life. The working fashion of a career coach differs from another. Thus, when hiring a career mentor, make sure his working approach matches your personality.
