From Higher Education to Job Training Programs to K-12, Innovative Partners Are Bringing Coach to Learners Around the World

We’re partnering with a number of incredible organizations across the career development spectrum to pilot Coach with thousands of learners. 

• Mentorship organizations (Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Massachusetts, MENTOR California) will use Coach to supplement youth programs in California and Massachusetts.
• Workforce boards (MassHire Berkshire, MassHire Franklin Hampshire) also plan to use Coach to support youth programs.
• Job-training nonprofit Generation.org will use Coach to support program alumni internationally. Additionally, Per Scholas, which provides tuition-free job training to unemployed or underemployed adults, is running two pilot studies with current students and alumni.

• Postsecondary institutions (University of Florida’s College of Nursing and California State University, East Bay) are using Coach in multiple ways, from career exploration to specialized pathway support. 

Let’s work together! We’re looking for more innovative partners interested in expanding access to high-quality, on-demand career development for everyone.
