Empowerment Coaching for Facilitators(ECF)
Tata STRIVE believes that facilitators are the most influential
change agents who can transform the young learners and help them not just to survive but thrive at
different times of life.At the same time, there is a dearth of 'Skilled facilitators / Trainers' in
the Vocational Education Training space, who can work on development of non-cognitive skills- a set
of attitudes, behaviours, and strategies that are thought to underpin success in school and at work.
While facilitators are critical for the implementation of a quality skill -based instruction in the
classroom, their role is significant to support learners in tackling key issues, handling
uncertainties and make fundamental life influencing decisions.
Keeping this objective in mind, we have designed an unique offering
called Empowerment Coaching for Facilitators (ECF) exclusively for the facilitators in skill
development industry. A flagship programme from Tata STRIVE, for those preparing youth for
Employability Skills and make them ready for the World of work.
ECF is a program designed to develop an additional helping skill
called as Coaching to facilitators in the skill development space, orient them with the
mind-set, skill-set and tool-set which will enhance their quality of conversations with youth and
bring sustainable change in their behaviour and actions.Here the facilitator partners with the youth
in a thought-provoking, self-reflective and creative process that inspires them to maximize their
personal and professional potential, which is particularly important in today's uncertain and
complex environment .
These coaching conversations will help facilitators to
 |
Move from mentoring and counselling to a
well-thought-out coaching approach. |
 |
Build awareness about self and operate from a
sense of responsibility. |
 |
Apply coaching in work and life. |
 |
Use powerful questions and help youth generate
choices. |
 |
Support youth/learners in goal setting. |
 |
Encourage youth/learners to progress and take
accountability in achieving their goals. |
Our programs designed use adult learning principles using
audio/visual resources, experiential methods, demonstration and practice session in dyad and triad
format.
The program involves classroom training, guided practice under expert
supervision, on the ground practice at workplace, regular/virtual connect with a mentor coach for
honing to help facilitators hone the coaching skills and apply to any relationships especially with
their students.
The program is delivered in two formats. Tata STRIVE recommends the
program format based on the scope of the partnership and pre-program discussions. Either of the
format starts with a pre workshop stage - a data gathering stage where data on participant
(facilitators) profiles and their work environment is collated and analysed. A brief about the
programme and expectations from the programme also is shared with participants during this phase.
