Job coaches are coaches with a specialization. In general, coaches support and accompany their clients (so-called coachees) in various areas, stages and situations of life. To this end, they conduct personal discussions and suitable tests with their coachees in coaching sessions without immediately presenting them with suitable solutions. Instead, coaches use their work to promote the self-help skills of their coachees.
