Career Coaching FAQs

What is Career Coaching?

Career Coaching at Silver aims to empower you to take action and make decisions towards your career goals by meeting you where you are and assessing what is needed to confidently move forward. Coaching is an opportunity to receive individualized support, strengthen alignment with your goals, and develop skills that will benefit you for years to come.

You can schedule a 30-minute Silver Career Coaching session to work with a coach on areas including, but not limited to:

- - Building self-awareness and confidence in your social work identity by identifying your unique skills, values, interests, and strengths
  - Exploring career pathways in the social work profession
  - Clarifying career goals and designing a step-by-step plan to achieve them
  - Developing essential skills such as crafting a compelling narrative, building connections, and job searching

What can I expect from a coaching session?

Our team will collaborate with you to help you clarify your goals, explore any obstacles, direct you to appropriate resources, and help you design an informed and personalized career plan. We center you by letting you lead in the coaching process and utilize a strengths-based approach to inform how we listen, ask questions, and provide guidance.

What can't coaching provide?

Coaching is meant to guide instead of giving you all the answers or doing the work for you. Coaches will support you as you navigate your career pathway, but decisions are ultimately yours to make.

Additionally, coaches cannot provide academic advising nor are the best contacts to answer questions about practicum education.

Appointment Details

All scheduled appointments are 30 minutes long and will be a virtual appointment, unless otherwise requested. Zoom information will be added prior to your appointment.
