Common use of Job Coaching Clause in Contracts

Job Coaching. This is the use of structured intervention techniques to help the employee learn to perform job tasks and develop the interpersonal skills necessary to be accepted as a worker at the job site. Job Coaching services may consist of: i. One-on-one job duty instruction as a service to VR Transition Students who have a goal of supported employment. These are students who require individual assistance in learning job tasks, often requiring a job coach that understands a specific learning style by which the student learns best and how to break tasks down into discrete steps to teach the necessary job tasks. Some students may initially require coaching for a particular job, but may not require coaching throughout their work life. Most would require ongoing supports through an identified service provider or other means. ii. Assist a service provider with understanding all factors impacting the student’s employment during a VR Transition Student’s shift to long-term follow-along services including such as any specific training issues or concerns, co-worker and employer expectations, family concerns, mode of transportation, etc. This assures the process goes smoothly and that the service provider has a complete understanding of the student’s specific long-term needs. iii. Use structured intervention techniques including conducting situational assessments, possibly using Discovery to ensure the student is well-matched to a particular job that he or she desires and has the potential to learn; conducting job site and environmental analysis to further ensure the job is a good match for the student; developing and implementing task analysis, with prompting and building in self-management strategies if needed to teach the discrete steps of the job and enhance the student’s capacity to perform independently; to help the VR Transition Student learn to perform job tasks to the employer's specifications and to learn the interpersonal skills necessary to be successful in their employment and within the community.
