Overview

About the LE3 Program

The Learn and Earn in 3 (LE3) program is an innovative undergraduate model designed for full-time working adults pursuing a bachelor's degree while advancing in their careers. LE3 combines academic learning, professional growth, and leadership development through flexible, high-touch, and personalized experiences. Each student is supported by a RISE Coach, who serves as a guide and thought partner throughout the journey.

Position Overview

The LE3 program at National Louis University is seeking a mission-aligned RISE (Resilience, Initiative, Skills, Empowerment) Coach to provide holistic, relationship-based coaching to working adult students. This is not a traditional advising role. It's a human-centered, proactive coaching model that supports students' academic, professional, and personal development. RISE Coaches walk alongside students to help them build resilience, strengthen leadership skills, and reach their goals while balancing work, school, and life responsibilities. This position is fully remote; however, there may be opportunities for in-person meetings, training, or events based on program needs.

Time Commitment

~20 hours / week, including 1 : 1 meetings with students, data entry and tracking, and bi-weekly coach huddle meetings.

• Caseloads and assignments may vary based on program needs.
• Will require evening, weekend, or non-standard hours
