Are you looking for a job where your work truly matters, every day is different, and you get to be part of a fun and supportive community?

At College Living Experience (CLE), career development isn't taught through textbooks alone. It happens in job sites, internships, coffee meetings, career fairs, workplaces, volunteer opportunities, and the everyday experiences where students discover their strengths, build confidence, and begin creating their future.

As a Career Coach, you'll help students explore what meaningful employment and independence look like for neurodiverse young adults. You'll guide students as they identify career interests, develop workplace skills, gain real‑world experience, and build the confidence needed to navigate life after college.

We are looking for someone with creativity, initiative, and a passion for helping others succeed. Someone who enjoys mentoring, building relationships, and opening doors to new opportunities. Maybe your background is in career counseling, workforce development, job coaching, education, human services, recruiting, or employment services. You understand that every student's path is different and enjoy helping them discover what is possible.

In this role, you'll work one‑on‑one with students to develop resumes, practice interviewing, explore career options, strengthen workplace skills, explore self‑employment or entrepreneurial goals and overcome barriers to employment. You'll also build relationships with local employers, internship sites, and community partners to create opportunities that help students gain experience and achieve their goals.

The ideal candidate enjoys connecting with people, believes in the potential of every student, and is excited to help neurodiverse young adults build fulfilling careers, greater independence, and successful adult lives.

Working at CLE means being part of a collaborative team dedicated to helping students reach meaningful milestones in their lives. Staff support students across four key areas of development:

• Every day is different. You’ll spend time mentoring students, helping them build practical life skills, and exploring the community together.
• You get to see real growth. Watching students gain confidence and independence is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
• You can be creative in how you engage students. Staff often turn their own hobbies and interests into activities that help students connect and grow.
• You get paid to do fun things in the community. From local events to game nights to karaoke, supporting students often means joining them in the activities they enjoy.
• You’re part of a supportive team. CLE teams value collaboration, flexibility, and recognizing the strengths each person brings to the work.

• Review career assessment results (such as the Greenwood Assessment) with students to identify strengths, interests, and career pathways.
• Work with students to develop clear career goals and measurable progress plans.
• Provide individualized job coaching to support workplace readiness and professional development.
• Support students participating in certificate programs or community‑based career workshops.

• Assist students with resume development, cover letters, and job applications.
• Provide interview preparation and job search coaching.
• Teach professional communication and workplace expectations.
• Support students in developing confidence and independence in professional environments.

• Build and maintain relationships with local employers to identify internship and employment opportunities.
• Develop partnerships with community organizations, workforce programs, and businesses.
• Identify volunteer, internship, and job placement opportunities for students.
• Promote CLE students as strong candidates within the local workforce community.

• Maintain documentation of student sessions and progress in Best…
