Do you want to develop in counselling neurodivergent students? And help them discover and use their unique talents? Then the training ‘The coach for neurodivergent talent on their way to (internship and graduation) success ’ is for you!
In this training, you will learn how to coach neurodivergent students from their own strengths, especially during their internship and graduation, as well as how to support them in finding a suitable work environment.
In February 2025, we will start this valuable training course again, aimed at experienced coaches, for example in the role of lecturer, study counsellor, dean or study advisor, who want to commit themselves to guiding students and (almost) graduated neurodivergent students. These include students with autism, AD(H)D, high sensitivity, giftedness, dyslexia, dyscalculia or psychological complaints.
This is an excellent opportunity to expand your skills and make a positive impact on the lives of our students.
Description
The profile of a job coach-teacher is as follows:

The job coach-teacher looks at the person, their talents and also at the student's other areas of life;
The job coach-teacher acts solution-oriented, offers customised guidance (by using various tools) and agrees clear frameworks with those involved;
The guidance of the job coach-teacher consists of guiding and matching in the work field, making the student internship-fit (or graduation-fit, or work-fit). The job coach-teacher matches a student with a suitable organisation and provides guidance in the field, where the job coach should be able to search for a suitable place for student himself (matching without competition).
