COACH_ING EDUCATIONAL MODEL: analysis and application for business

The COACH_ING model is an educational framework where engineering skills and soft behavioral skills integrate in a new set of competencies to train students and young technicians in developing their readiness to enter the job market, with strong relational skills and awareness of the career path best suited to their skills and growth potential. The method uses a set of evaluation forms, direct-assessment and a multiple-choice questionnaire to analyze the level of confidence with technical engineering and relational coaching skills to design a training path for any participant. This analytical approach will be used to assess and train multifactorial skills and personal attitude to meet specific professional families in engineering field. We have already received various confirmations of the accuracy of our analyses on the profiling of professional families and we intend to expand the research to a greater number of subjects to refine our tool-set and enhance the models’ effectiveness.
