Study of a project to improve motivation, skills and socio-emotional capacity among basic vocational training students
Abstract
This study analyses an initiative in the city of Ceuta to use life coaching to improve the skills, motivation, resilience and socio-emotional capacity of basic vocational training students specialising in hair and beauty training. Students at this level demonstrate low motivation and a high rate of absenteeism. To improve their psycho-social profile and offer them a greater chance of joining the workforce, an initiative has been designed based on their psycho-social, educational and employment profiles, using life coaching as an intervention methodology. The study uses a quasi-experimental design, with pre-test and post-test, in a sample of 25 students studying the basic course in professional Hair and Beauty training. To establish inter-group and intra-group differences, Student’s t-test was used for independent and related samples; and to analyse the relationship of the constructs with each other, Pearson’s bivariate correlation was used. The results demonstrate the success of the initiative, highlighting the improvement in transversal skills, self-acceptance and level of motivation, which are fundamental elements for basic vocational training students to join the workforce.
