APUS and LifeRamp Partnership Enables
ICF-Certified Coaching in Four Languages
CHARLES
TOWN, W.Va., Aug. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Effective immediately, all students at American
Public University and American Military University have access
to professional coaching at no cost.
Students interested in this service can learn more
at CareerLink (under the Resources tab), or
in the Student Success Center from within the ecampus site.
This expansion in services to include all students comes as part
of an agreement between American Public University System (APUS)
and LifeRamp, which provides integrated coaching and mentoring
services that are certified by the International Coaching
Federation (ICF). On their first day of taking a class, all APUS
students can gain access to LifeRamp's Launch 360° coaching service
in four languages (English, Spanish, French and Portuguese).
Previously, these services were only available to APUS students
once they neared program completion.
"We support our students at every step of the way, and we're
proud to offer professional and executive coaching combined with a
range of other useful services that can be instrumental in their
personal and professional development," said Erika Orris, Senior Vice President, Operations,
APUS. "Our services and programs are committed to helping both
students and alumni accomplish their academic and personal
goals."
"We are excited to expand our partnership to include all AMU and
APU students," said LifeRamp Founder and CEO Michael Huckaby. "At LifeRamp, we believe
everyone deserves a personal life and career coach to help them
design a life of choice, not chance."
LifeRamp provides personalized, 1-1 coach-guided experiences
that include strength assessment, goal planning, guidance on
developing and improving skills, plus tools and methods for
tracking progress. The coaching is designed to guide participants
with a roadmap to overcome obstacles, plus help them achieve more
meaningful lives and successful careers.
This is the latest enhancement to the University's student
services, which include supplemental, professional, and executive
coaching services through certified vendors and dedicated APUS
staff members. APUS also offers a range of other career
services, many of which are currently offered at no cost to
students and alumni. This includes access to:
- An AI-powered resume building platform,
- An online job board built for our students and alums,
- Virtual career fairs and events,
- Resume reviews, career guides, and career exploration.
