Business in the Community’s Job Coaching Training
Wed, 24 September @ 09:30 – 13:30
Business in the Community’s Job Coaching programme
Business in the Community’s (BITC) job coaching programme aims to engage businesses across the UK to support jobseekers through a series of coaching sessions.
Our ambition is to help build an inclusive workforce by supporting people who face barriers to employment across the UK.
How does it work?
BITC comprehensively trains employee volunteers as coaches, providing them with all the necessary tools and resources.
- Coaches are then matched with jobseekers to provide one-to-one support.
- Coaches and jobseekers meet virtually for up to six, 60 minute sessions, usually 2-3 weeks apart.
Coaches and jobseekers benefit
Coaches help improve the skills, confidence and employment opportunities for the jobseeker while also enhancing their own skills and wellbeing.
Facilitated training workshop
In preparation for your role as coach and before we match you with a jobseeker, you will need to complete our three-hour online facilitated training workshop. Guidance and support are provided throughout the programme.
