Outplacement at 50+

A dismissal or career change after age 50 feels like a big step for many people.
However, it may be just the beginning of a new chapter — one where your knowledge, life experience and qualities will flourish again.
Outplacement at 50+ helps you make that restart structured, confident and realistic.

Why outplacement after age 50 is so valuable

Working after the age of fifty is no longer exceptional.
Nevertheless, many people over 50 experience uncertainty about the idea of dismissal or change.
The labor market seems to have changed, vacancies require new skills and the application process is more digital than ever.

That is precisely why outplacement so valuable later in life.
A coach not only helps you with practical issues such as applying for jobs and networking, but also with strengthening your self-confidence and discovering new opportunities.

Outplacement at 50+ offers:

  • Tailored personal coaching
  • Assistance in discovering new career directions
  • Support in modernizing your resume and LinkedIn profile
  • Application and network training
  • Reflection on values, talents and happiness at work

The goal is not simply “getting back to work”, but finding sustainable work that really matches your life experience and ambitions.

The Power of Experience

Employers are increasingly looking for stability, commitment and craftsmanship — qualities that people over 50 often have in abundance.
With the right guidance, your experience will not be seen as a disadvantage, but as a strength.

During a outplacement process you will learn how to present your experience convincingly and turn it into new opportunities.
This can be within the same industry, but also in a completely new direction, for example through refresher courses or retraining.

How does an outplacement process work for people over 50?

The process is tailored to your situation, pace and wishes.
A coach guides you personally so that you can take steps with confidence.

A process often consists of the following phases:

  1. Orientation and processing — space for reflection after dismissal or change.
  2. Self-analysis — insight into qualities, motives and opportunities.
  3. Labour market exploration — research into opportunities and functions that fit.
  4. Application and network training — practical tools for a strong profile
  5. Mediation and guidance — actively looking for a suitable job.

In addition, attention is paid to balance, energy and future-orientation — so that job satisfaction remains central.

Outplacement at 50+ and the transition payment

Have you been fired or declared redundant?
Then you can often (part of) your transition payment use to finance an outplacement process.
This way, you don't have to pay for everything yourself and you can invest that fee smartly in your future.

Employers are also increasingly opting for this — out of good employment and because they want to give their employees the opportunity to make a fresh start with guidance.

Over 50 and doubts about the future? You are not alone

Many people over 50 think that the chance of getting a new job is smaller, but in practice, the opposite appears.
With a strong presentation, realistic goals and personal guidance, there is often more to it than you think.
