Collaborative partnerships have proven to be powerful support on the onboarding process for professionals starting out in a new role. The article discusses a professional induction activity carried out with a group of beginning pedagogical coordinators in order to help them overcome the challenges during their professional onboarding in primary education schools. This work will set forth a data sample from the research with twenty-five teachers who had been approved in public call for pedagogical coordinator had no experience in the job – beginning coordinators – and seventeen coordinators with up to three years of experience – experienced coordinators – whose collaborative partnership was based on a research-training program. For data production, we used the transcript of training meetings (eight with each group), including Chat content, as well as transcript of two focus groups and spontaneous WhatsApp conversations and give-and-take, and data from a characterization questionnaire. The data analysis was powered by Prose Analysis. The results indicate that the collaborative partnership of beginning and experienced coordinators brings inputs for the former to face and overcome the challenges of early career, and also contributes to the improvement of professional practice for experienced coordinators.
