Getting a job is a big milestone, but it’s only the beginning. Starting a new role can come with challenges, especially when you’re learning routines, expectations, and workplace culture. In many of our programs, EmployAbilities offers short-term job coaching to help you settle into your role.
Here’s how it can help:
Helps you adjust and build confidence
Short-term job coaching provides support after you’ve been hired. Your job coach wants to help you adjust to your new role and build confidence at work. This might include help with learning tasks, improving communication, managing stress, or navigating workplace expectations.
Personalized support, tailored to your needs
Your job coach focuses on what you need to succeed. Some people need help during their first few weeks. Others benefit from occasional check-ins as they settle into their role. The support is flexible and adapts as your confidence grows.
Help with workplace accommodations
Workplace accommodations are simple changes that help you do your job well. This could include flexible hours, modified tasks, assistive technology, or clear written instructions. These supports are common and often easy to put into place.
Asking for accommodations can feel uncomfortable. Many people are not sure what support they can ask for or how to start the conversation. A job coach can help you identify what accommodations may work best for you and support you in talking with your employer. With the right support in place, you can focus on learning your role, building confidence, and succeeding at work.
A benefit to employers
Job coaching also benefits employers. When challenges are addressed early, it leads to better communication, stronger working relationships, and long-term job success. New employees who feel supported gain confidence, adapt to their new role faster and more smoothly, and are most likely to find success. That’s why EmployAbilities works with both employees and employers to create positive outcomes for everyone involved.
EmployAbilities has your back
Most importantly, job coaching helps you feel supported instead of overwhelmed. You’re not expected to figure everything out on your own, and sometimes walking into a new workplace can be nerve-racking. Having someone in your corner can ease anxiety and help you focus on doing your job well.
