Our Vision
Strategic Career Coaching aspires to create a future workforce, in which everyone looks forward to meaningful work, maintaining their hope and confidence in successfully pursuing career fulfillment, and creating harmonious work environments through positive work relationships.
Our Mission
Strategic Career Coaching commits to achieving Our Vision by providing structured decision-making processes, coaching methodologies and resources to evaluate important career decisions, by developing practical and realistic strategies for job/career change and by strengthening self-confidence and assertiveness for professional development.
Strategic Career Coaching aims to provide these career services in an accessible and affordable way.
Our Story
Strategic Career Coaching was established in 2010 to address an increasing concern – the inadequate provision of career development education/resources within formal curriculums (worldwide) and the negative consequences of this, on personal career decision-making, effective resource use and personal job satisfaction in the workforce.
The knowledge gap is growing as every student/worker is challenged by a dynamic, fast-paced, technologically advanced, economically influenced labour market. As this market demands the re-shaping of workforces, regular job/career change is frequent and has become the new norm.
Strategic Career Coaching is uniquely positioned to offer practitioners who have worked in industry, have personally experienced the challenges that clients face and know what it takes to succeed at job/career change! They now share their qualifications, experience and expertise with passion to coach clients towards successful change.
Strategic Career Coaching
We are here to partner with you. Together, we will create clarity, develop direction, heighten hope and plan your career progression. We add value by sharing knowledge with you, not only for the current career decision but for your entire career journey. We aim to exceed your support expectations.
