Skills Win Coaching Program

Based on 40 years of work by Professor Bill Coplin, the Skills Win Coaching Program is a project led by students in a course at Syracuse University. The students in the course act as Skills Coaches and Project Managers. The specific skills taught are Typing skills, People skills, Career readiness, and Financial literacy, based of the 38 skills grouped in 10 Skill Sets defined in Coplin’s book. In the spring 2023 semester, Skills Coaches are working with approximately 200 students in 10 classes at PSLA@Fowler and Nottingham High Schools in the City of Syracuse, the Police Cadet program, and staff members from local nonprofits.
