The proposal is based on the literature review and its critical analysis and authors’ experiences gained from international Erasmus + project “Job coach for persons with disabilities” where European standards for similar occupation were established. Authors propose to locate job coach profession among subgroup of “Personnel and careers professionals” and they have presented job description including main tasks and responsibilities of job coaches. The educational path of job coaches in terms of European Qualification frame is recommended as the next necessary step toward job coach occupation standardization.
