What is career coaching?

Career coaching gives you the chance to talk one-on-one with a trained coach about anything related to your future working life. Whether you’re exploring your strengths, planning your next career steps, or just feeling unsure about what you want to do — we’re here to help you make sense of it all.

Knowing your values, strengths, and interests — and combining them with insight into industries and future work trends — helps you make informed choices and build a career that truly fits you.

What can we talk about?

You can come to a session with a specific question in mind or without any clear idea at all. Some common topics include:

• Identifying your strengths, values and goals
• Exploring your interests or what gives you energy
• Shaping your career path through small experiments
• Reflecting on your dreams or future possibilities
• Finding ways to connect with working life and the job market
• Practicing for job interviews or reviewing past experiences
   

All our coaches are trained in Voimakehä® coaching, which means we can help you identify your strengths, values, and interests through practical tools, cards and simple exercises. 

How does it work?

• Career coaching sessions are free, confidential, and available to all Aalto University students. Each session typically lasts around 45 minutes.
• You can choose to meet online or on campus, depending on your preference and the coach’s availability.
• You can book an appointment easily via JobTeaser (link below). New slots are added weekly, so you’ll likely find a slot for the upcoming weeks.
• Prefer a more personal approach? You can also email a coach directly to ask about available times.
• We recommend including your CV and a short description of your potential topic when booking – it helps your coach prepare and make the most of your session.

Please note that career coaching is not CV or job application advising. For CV or job application advice, please drop in during our weekly open hours at Starting Point of Wellbeing (see more below).
