Expectations

What I found out: empirical data

Students expected an adviser to have more industry knowledge than a coach

They expected the adviser to be more directive

They thought the coaching session would be more valuable

My conclusions

• People like the idea of a non-directive, person-centred career conversation

• They think they are more likely to get it with a career coach

• There are plenty of good, evidence-based tools to add value to our practice
