How can I become a student success coach?

The qualifications you need to become a student success coach include a bachelor’s degree, knowledge of the school’s resources, and the skills to help students plan academic and career goals. Most employers expect candidates to have a degree in education, counseling, psychology, or a related field. Having teaching experience may help you stand out in the job market. You also need the ability to coordinate with a teacher or faculty member to assist a student when needed. You typically find student success coaches at elementary, middle, and high schools, helping students focus on their studies and create a plan to get to college, but you sometimes find them at the college level.
