THE NETWORK BECOMES THE WORLD LEADER IN TRAINING CAREER COACHES

Starting in 1990, we evolved from teaching traditional Career "Counseling" skills to teaching the much more active and prescriptive Career "Coaching" techniques. These training and certification programs were attended by career counselors and coaches who were working with adults in job or career transition.

• In 1990 we introduced the Job & Career Transition Coach certification in North America
• 1991 expanded to Australia
• 1992 expaned to New Zealand
• 1994 expanded to include Holland
• 1995 expanded to include Sweden

THE NETWORK EXPANDS THE CAREER COACH TRAINING TO AFRICA AND ASIA

In 2000 we expanded our coach certification program to include human resource professionals who were working with employees desiring to develop their careers within their current organization. This expansion resulted in the designation of a new certification: Job & Career Development Coach. Since 2000, all graduates of our Coach Certification courses have received both Transition and Development credentials.

• In 2009 we introduced the Job & Career Development Coach certification program in Egypt
