Training

There is a lot to learn as a Job Coach. New Job Coaches sometimes feel overwhelmed or unsure about what they are supposed to be doing for the first several weeks on the job. To help you learn how to do your work, EBI provides you with a series of trainings when you start and once you are on the job.

EBI EBI has launched a comprehensive, fun, and interactive training program based on the College of Direct Support, the premier training curriculum for this field. You will be paid for the time you spend in training.

At first you will probably have a lot of questions. If you take a Job Coach position with EBI, it will be important that you talk to your supervisor if you need help or if you have questions. Your co-workers and the people you support might also know answers to your questions, and you should feel free to ask them for information.

EBI is committed to making you feel welcome and have the support you need to do a good job. The supervisors and the managers at EBI can answer questions and provide you with whatever support you need.
