For many people with disabilities, job coaching is a key ingredient for
their success at work. This training helps employment professionals develop
effective support and teaching strategies for consumers.

• Each online workshop covers the same amount of content as a one-day, in-person training.
• Workshops generally take up to six hours to complete.

• Workshops include a variety of formats: readings, slides, discussion forums, web/teleconferences, videos, professional development activities, assignments.
