What Is InsideTrack Coaching?

InsideTrack Coaching is a highly effective solution that provides holistic, tailored support to individuals on their way to achieving their educational and career goals. Using our evidence-based, research-confirmed methodology, our coaches assess and address potential risk factors and opportunities to help individuals develop the knowledge, skills and beliefs they need to advance. 

Our equity-centered coaching model is designed to support all learners, empowering individuals to overcome barriers, harness the power of their own strengths and progress toward their full potential.

Holistic and personalized

Our relationship-based approach to coaching helps individuals assess their unique challenges in and outside of school, reconnect with their strengths and values to build motivation, and co-create a plan for achieving their goals. Coaches support learners in building knowledge, confidence and purpose as they manage school, family, work and other commitments — all designed to promote lifelong success and lasting transformation.

Human-powered and tech-enabled

Our strategic outreach approach delivers various levels of flexible support — from scheduled reminders to intensive one-on-one coaching sessions. Coaches connect the way that works best for each individual, whether that’s by phone, email, text or video chat. While technology enables our coaches to achieve broad reach and scale, our impact is always rooted in personalized, authentic connection and support.

Coaching for educational and career advancement

From colleges and universities to the workforce and beyond

With deep roots in higher education, we continue to coach students at community colleges, public and private universities, online programs and beyond. But that's just part of the story. We also provide coaching for local and national workforce boards, state work-related agencies and employer talent development.

Coaching can help your organization:

Improve enrollment and re-enrollment
Help learners persist and complete
Accelerate career readiness
Upskill and reskill employees
Build a culture of inclusion and belonging

Two pathways to maximize the impact of coaching

InsideTrack offers two coaching pathways to support your organization in achieving your desired strategic outcomes and learner impact. With Success Coaching, we directly coach your learners. With Coaching Development and Training, we teach you how to provide high-impact coaching support — ultimately creating in-house coaching capacity with sustainable impact for years to come.

Success Coaching

With Success Coaching, our highly trained InsideTrack coaches work directly with your learners, on your behalf, helping them identify, address and overcome barriers in order to achieve their educational and career goals.

Learner Benefits

Individuals get the support that they need to reach key milestones along their learning journey and achieve success both during and beyond the coaching relationship.

Partner Benefits

Institutions and organizations gain immediate bandwidth and flexibility to meet their learners’ needs. In addition, your InsideTrack partnership team reports on coaching takeaways that offer your organization actionable insights into pain points and challenges.

Coaching Development & Training

With Coaching Development and Training, we teach our coaching methodology to your support teams through in-depth training, observation and ongoing feedback. We also offer certifications for each of our learning programs that equip leaders and staff with the tools to sustain coaching practices in-house.

Partner Benefits

Organizations build the internal capacity to deliver effective and sustainable coaching support to their own learners, helping to drive strategic outcomes.

Learner Benefits

Coaching-powered organizations create a ripple effect for all current and future learners, as the culture of support shifts from transactional to transformational.

Stackable solutions for transformational change

When paired together, our two coaching pathways provide the ultimate foundation for sustainable impact. Success Coaching drives immediate results for today’s learners and generates buy-in for organizational change, while Coaching Development and Training equips staff with enhanced capacity and the ability to better serve the learners of tomorrow.

Six proven components of a high-quality coaching program
