Introduction
Coaching and Mentoring practice is considered a critical element of success. Over recent times, coaching is increasingly gaining popularity as one of the fundamental interventions used in personal and professional development spheres. This practice optimizes efforts through the exploitation of all available opportunities. Coaching and mentoring constitute an essential component of adult learning, where it increases the effectiveness of interactions between the learner and the instructor. Coach education is a critical approach to improving learning outcomes. These initiatives' conceptualization should be anchored on the principles derived from empirical learning theory to achieve effective coach education initiatives. This paper is a proposal introducing an elaborate approach to coaching and mentoring amongst adult learners. The paper details the process of incorporating coaching and mentoring practice in learning at Calumet College of St. Joseph.

Located in Whiting, Indiana, USA, Calumet College of Saint Joseph is a private institution affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church represented by the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. It is an accredited institution to offer full time and part-time classes. The School of Adult Learning at Calumet College of St. Joseph offers degree programs meeting the educational needs of working adults with a non-traditional deliverance approach.

It is a collaborative and integrative partnership that seeks to engage the teaching staff and student community. Through proper coaching and mentorship programs, students may assume the role of mentors and coaches. The proposed mentorship and coaching program will draw team coaches and mentors from various department units in Calumet College of Saint Joseph. The program will have mentorship and overall coaching leader supported by other leaders who will be chosen, or picked, to provide a sense of direction and purpose in implementing the coaching and mentoring program.
Rational for Coaching Proposal
Coaching plays a critical role in boosting performance in any context. Hamilton et al. (2019) argued that the mentees stand to benefit from mentorship and coaching programs where job search opportunities, self-efficacy, and practical career-related support such as networking, interviewing capacity, and resume development increased during such programs. Coached and mentored learners are likely to get a more realistic view of the workplace, potential career growth and options, and psychosocial support. Within the confines of education, it creates a learning environment that encourages problem-solving, enhances effective partnerships and collaboration amongst students and instructors, and nurtures individual independence. Due to the numerous benefits gained from coaching, this proposal offers immense potential to be used as a blueprint for coaching implementation programs in other contexts. Much of what will be learned in this proposal will provide critical coaching lessons, including the formal pairing of peers, colleagues, and instructors in educational activities, creating a more professional outlook of coaching, and enhancing access to seamless possibilities and opportunities for professional development and growth. Suppose this proposal is actualized and generates desirable outcomes; in that case, the art of coaching holds the potential of being a professional outfit that creates opportunities for those who would like to specialize in coaching. These are the befits that Calumet College of Saint Joseph stands to enjoy if it adopts this proposal and engraves it into practice by applying its concepts in the program dealing with adult learning. Generally, incorporating effective coaching in Calumet College of Saint Joseph will bring enhanced college opportunities, including increased student numbers, improved staff-student interactions and satisfaction levels, and a better sense of community belonging and social-wellbeing.
