Shape Student Futures – At Your Pace

The Certified Student Career Coach (CSCC) program prepares you to support students in career exploration, decision-making, and the transition from education to employment. It is designed for educators, career services and workforce development professionals, counselors, and coaches who work with students. No prior certification is required.

Four modules cover career theories, the future of work, student coaching strategies, career barriers, ethics, advocacy, and job search technology. Through reflection and a final capstone project, you’ll deepen your self-awareness as a coach and leave with your own student coaching framework to guide your practice.

You have up to one year to complete the CSCC program. Virtual office hours with the instructor are included.
