Education

EDUCA SWISS is the Swiss foundation for promoting and financing education. We help people to develop, budget and carry out their own further education project. If needed, we also arrange student loans and mentors to help bring the project to life.
We are looking for worldly-wise volunteers to coach our candidates in developing life and financial goals. Would you like to volunteer and advise people from lower-income backgrounds on how to plan their own further education project?

Duration:

  • Roughly four hours per week, on a flexible basis.
  • To be agreed between the coach and EDUCA SWISS.

Location:

Online from home and/or as agreed by coach and coachee.

How it will work:

  • A full coaching program lasts around eight hours; coaches will work with coachees until clarity about the project and financial situation is established. 
  • The core of the program is a longer conversation between coach and coachee online or in person.

Introduction:

Volunteers will be introduced to their role as coaches for EDUCA SWISS.

Support:

The EDUCA SWISS branch team actively support volunteer coaches and are on hand to provide assistance.

Tasks:

  • Analyzing your coachee’s personal situation and further education project.
  • Helping your coachee to develop an achievable life plan and budget for the project.
  • Be part of a dynamic coaching team.

What you'll need:

  • You are empathic and can comfortably interact with different individuals who are trying to make a change in their lives.
  • You are open to and interested in different types of vocational training.
  • You have the time and willingness to enter into a binding commitment.

Note:

Feeling comfortable using a PC is an advantage, as work tools are online.
