POWERED BY THE MARKLE FOUNDATION
Skills-based coaching focuses on exposing, expanding, and engaging the skills of job-seekers as a pathway towards obtaining quality jobs. Skills-based coaching is an equitable approach practitioners implement to empower individuals that have limited access and opportunities as a result of an over reliance on degrees and credentials. With the needs of the workforce shifting skills-based coaching is well-positioned to move beyond a career coaching strategy and emerge as the standard for effective career coaching.
The objective of this workshop is to provide a framework that will allow practitioners to explore the interconnectedness of equitable approaches and skills-based coaching facilitated through an interactive learning experience. Participants will be able to evaluate current strategies, and explore additional methods for applying an equitable and skills-based approach in interactions with job seekers.
Trenae Thomas, Manager, Career Coaching Initiatives, with the Markle Foundation, will lead the workshop.
The MAX Academy will take place on Wednesday, March 29th, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, at the Georgia Piedmont Technical College, DeKalb Conference Center.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
