Abstract
This paper considers the potential merits of emotional competency coaching for undergraduate
students. We outline the findings from our previous work which showed, for example, that a
sample of First Year undergraduate students failed to engage with coaching primarily because it
was not a mandatory aspect of the curricula. An analysis of the National Framework of
Qualifications (NFQ) - which details the specific learning outcomes that must be achieved by all
Irish academic syllabi found that this framework makes scant reference to the development of
social and emotional skills. Therefore, a revised working model of the NFQ is proposed, which
incorporates learning outcomes related to emotional and social development at all levels of
academic attainment.
