Information about the Success Coach role: The Success Coach (SC) is essentially a combination of a traditional Course Leader (teaching assistant) and Guidance Counselor. Each SC will be “assigned” to a group of 25-50 participants – in high enrollment programs, this would result in two or three SCs for the program, along with a Program Delivery Manager (PDM), who is a full-time Emeritus team member and who will serve as the primary administrative contact for both participants and SCs throughout the program. This is a remote contractor role. Responsibilities of the Success Coach include but are not limited to: Each SC will play series of participant-facing roles throughout the course of the program, focusing primarily on the following: The Success Coach must have a solid overall command of the course content and be prepared to answer most clarification questions.

The Success Coach will also serve as an advisor for student capstone projects, which will be completed during the core program. The Success Coach will host an average of one weekly live discussion session, with the primary aims of answering participant questions and leading guided discussions on a topic related to that week’s module. The Success Coach may be asked to moderate occasional guest-speaker live sessions, which may include ice-breaker activities, faculty speakers, career advisors, and industry practitioners. The Success Coach could be asked to grade selected assignments (program dependent), requiring marking assignments “complete” and provide basic comments and/or feedback when merited.
