Train the trainer | How to master the art of career coaching?

The programme begins by providing clear insight into the distinction between coaching, mentoring, advising, and leading, thereby building a strong professional identity.

Participants deepen their understanding of the European job market, from NGOs to EU institutions, and learn how to help students design realistic and strategic career pathways.

Through frameworks such as Schneider, Hofstede, and cultural intelligence, coaches learn how to navigate cultural diversity and international work environments.

Strong emphasis is placed on developing powerful communication techniques, including active listening, effective questioning, and structured coaching dialogues.

Practical tools such as GROW, WOOP, SMART, and STAR(R) turn each conversation into a results-oriented process with clear follow-up.

The programme provides in-depth expertise in CV screening, motivation letters, interviews, and EPSO selection procedures.

Psychological insights into motivation, resilience, and self-regulation help coaches keep students sustainably motivated.

Through interactive exercises, role plays, and reflection sessions, participants immediately translate theory into their own professional practice.

The programme concludes with a shared vision and a common framework, enabling the organisation to develop a strong and recognisable coaching culture.
