Our Leadership Coaches play an instrumental role in the Braven Accelerator. Ninety eight percent of our coaches said that the role helped them develop and practice skills transferable to their own professional development and goals.
Facilitate weekly in-person workshops for 5-8 college students using Braven’s curriculum. Coach each student individually to design their career vision, goals, and roadmap.
As you lead your students, you’ll grow your own leadership ability. You’ll get real-world practice managing a diverse team of up and coming talent, and learn strong group facilitation and one-on-one coaching skills.
As a coach, you will go through a full-day training, access pre-created online curriculum and lesson plans, and receive observation and feedback.
Put your real-world experience and connections into action and become a powerful advocate for your students.
