Abstract

The educational and professional development needs of career coaches are changing. These changes are discussed within a psychologically and contextually informed model. The model identifies a spectrum of career activities in which coaches work. The skills which career coaches need to support them in these range of roles is also presented. An argument is made that the changing nature of careers and career provision demands a broader and deeper range of career coaching skills. This view is supported by a psychological and contextual approach to career coach education.
