A Rake’s Progress

We were astonished to learn that the Province of Nova Scotia, Canada, is training high school parents to become career coaches. Offered by the Department of Education, the training sessions are designed to show parents how to help their children make better education and career decisions.

With the recent launch of Career News & Events, professional career, life, and business coaches have an online source where they can keep up with the latest news, trends, conferences, and training events. According to the web site, currently such information is scattered all over the Internet. CNE brings all into one tidy, online package. Readers can also elect to subscribe to their weekly e-newsletter. And the price is right: FREE.

Given the tremendous growth in demand for coaching, mentoring, and personal/business development advisory services, the timing seems right for such an online venture.
