Coaching for all (C4all) is a project created by TESE-Associação para o Desenvolvimento or TESE-Association for development (TESE), aimed at disseminating and democratizing access to coaching methods among people seeking employment and other vulnerable groups of people.

The results of our analysis suggest a number of changes that C4all need to undertake in order to survive and achieve better outcomes in the future
