We’re thrilled to announce funding support from Google.org! Among our bedrock beliefs for the development of Coach is the necessity of diverse stakeholder input. Our coalition partners were instrumental in helping us test the tool with hundreds of #educators and learners of all ages and backgrounds. One thing we learned: Diverse #CareerDevelopment needs require diverse offerings! Our beta-testers and early users provided (and continue to provide!) great feedback AND many fantastic ways for Coach to support them! Now, with the support of Brigitte Hoyer Gosselink, Joel Straker and the team at Google.org, we’re bringing these ideas to life and expanding Coach’s career development activity menu to 100 activities! These are *guided* activities, and because they are #AI-powered, they’re also *adaptive* to the needs of each learner. We believe this is a winning combination for empowering learners to improve career decision-making. Thank you Google.org for your support! psst–you, too, can try out Coach and suggest an activity: https://lnkd.in/grwkSMjD
