Career Coaching

A new service for the Unibo Alumni Community

What a is a Career Coach and how can they support my professional development?  

A Career Coach is a professional who offers support to those wishing to explore new career opportunities and optimise their skills and personal and developmental potential. The Coach provides useful feedback at different stages of your career, from your early steps in the job market to taking on new responsibilities. 

A career coach can help you to:  

  • Assess and develop your professional skills, interests and values  
  • Create an action plan to achieve your goals  
  • Identify the obstacles that are holding you back  
  • Tackle the transition to the world of work or help you with a career change  
  • Manage complex issues in the workplace  

 

How is the programme structured?  

Career coaching involves a minimum of five online sessions, each lasting one hour, to be scheduled with the chosen Coach. It is possible to discontinue the programme at any time and receive a refund for the sessions not taken.

If you are interested, contact the Alumni Team by writing to alumni@unibo.it to receive further details, get in touch with the coaches and access the reduced rate. Before starting the programme, you will have an introductory call with the Coach to jointly assess whether coaching is the right tool for you.   

The Coach guarantees confidentiality and compliance with privacy and the Professional Code of Ethics.     

Who the service is for 

Career coaching is recommended for recent graduates, professionals, managers and anyone who wants to gain clarity about their career. There are numerous scenarios in which consulting a Career Coach can prove advantageous. Whether you are just starting out or thinking of changing career, a coach will help you assess your skills and interests to guide you towards a new professional path that better suits you.

My experience with Alumni Career Coaching

Sometimes you don't need to change jobs, but you need to change your outlook. In the video, Serena tells how the Career Coaching of the Alumni Community of the Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna helped her to clarify, enhance her skills and approach her work with greater awareness.
