About us...

Want to grow your career while helping people find a job they love?

As a Partnerships Coach with Breakthru, you'll work side-by-side with participants to explore their career goals, build confidence, and support them into meaningful employment. You'll take the time to understand their strengths and aspirations, offering tailored coaching, linking them to opportunities, and collaborating with employers to open doors. It's a fast-paced, people-focused environment where your energy, empathy, and commitment to outcomes will shine.
