College And Workforce Readiness Success Coach

Overtown Youth Center is seeking a dedicated and student-focused College And Workforce Readiness Success Coach for 11th–12th Grade students to join our dynamic team. This role is ideal for a motivated, relationship-driven professional who is passionate about preparing youth for success in college, vocational training, military pathways, and workforce opportunities. As the College And Workforce Readiness Success Coach, you will provide comprehensive in-school and out-of-school coaching, advising, and case management services designed to support students as they transition from high school into postsecondary education and career pathways.

Students will gain critical knowledge and skills related to postsecondary planning, career exploration, financial literacy, leadership development, and long-term goal setting while building confidence, self-advocacy, and readiness for life beyond high school.

The role also includes conducting student needs assessments, tracking student progress and engagement, facilitating workshops and exposure opportunities, and connecting students and families to academic, workforce, and community-based resources that support student achievement and postsecondary success.

In this role, you will help create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment that encourages student engagement, leadership development, exploration, and achievement.
