The majority of university career offices don't have the staffing to meet 1-on-1 with every student - this makes Coach so valuable. It provides instant personalized feedback at scale and curates quality career development resources wherever students are in their own career journey.

I found the AI to be conversational, as if I'm actually talking to a career coach... It was informed and digestible. It listed things out and used short paragraphs and made it easy to read.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the tool you’re using! Coach utilizes the power of large language models (LLMs) and a comprehensive educational resource database to enhance career development. Think of it as a digital version of a career counselor's or career coach's resource binder, only much more extensive. With thousands of entries sourced or identified by our co-design coalition of nonprofits, educational institutions, and workforce development boards, Coach skillfully provides the most suitable resources exactly when you need them, making it unique among AI career coach apps.

Choosing between AI coaching and human coaching depends on your specific needs and circumstances. Coach is free for learners, offers 24/7 online availability, a vast resource database, and personalized guidance. AI career assistants like Coach are ideal for structured learning and those who need flexible scheduling. However, AI career development apps lack the nuanced understanding and empathy of a human coach, who can offer a more personal touch, context-driven feedback, emotional support, and can also adapt strategies based on subtle cues. Human coaching is more suitable for those who really need that interpersonal interaction and customized mentoring. Each path has its merits, and your choice should align with your learning style and career goals.

Coach sets itself apart by prioritizing resources and information vetted by a coalition of career development institutions. Technically, Coach is a career coaching chatbot; however, we see it as much more! Coach goes beyond the typical career counseling chatbot, offering structured career development activities based on expert research and guidance. It's specifically designed to assess career readiness and is tailored for educational settings, ensuring robust moderation and data controls. This reduces the risks of inaccuracies and inappropriate content, making Coach a unique tool in the realm of AI career coaching software.
