The four weeks International Career Coaching Programme (ICCP) has been broken down into four main sections on a weekly basis.

1. Week 1 – The Perspective Week – Understanding career perspectives and opportunities
2. Week 2 – The Person Week – Understanding yourself and career equilibrium
3. Week 3 – The Partner Week – Understanding networks and other resources
4. Week 4 – The Planning Week – Recap and understanding career planning

Every week, participants should expect the following:

1. 1 or 2 short career concept videos (about 5 minutes each)
2. 1 full career lecture (about 45 minutes to 1 hr)
3. A Career Group discussion
4. A Career Exercise or Activity

The programme is administered with a support framework administered on a secured WhatsApp Group with access to different online platforms for engagement and interactions with support from accredited mentors and coaches.

The program is flexible, but experience shows that participants must be quick and responsive especially to the practical career exercises as there is a lot to cover over the one-month period of the career coaching programme.

Programme Live Sessions

On two separate occasions over the one-month period, there will be two Live Zoom Session- an Audience with Dr Akanimo Odon (the Programme Head Career Coach), where he would respond to a wide range of career questions that would have been generated from everyone on the programme.

At the end of the one-month programme, participants who have undertaken all career exercises will be assessed and issued a UK Certified Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Certificate.
