A transition specialist who teaches vocational skills in the community and in actual job settings.

A job coach is the person who provides hands-on vocational instruction in real-world settings, guiding a student with disabilities as they learn and perform job tasks in the community and at actual workplaces. They go to the job site, model tasks, teach routines, help practice, and support the student in using accommodations and communicating with supervisors. The goal is to help the student gain practical skills and gradually take over tasks with less support, making the transition from school to work smoother. The other terms don’t describe this hands-on, on-site training role: collaboration is about teamwork among professionals, enrichment refers to extra activities, and deaf-blindness is a disability category rather than a job-training role.
