Career coaching: professional guidance for your career
What is career coaching?
You work with one coach and speak to them every few weeks. In between you collect what you do not yet know, for instance by visiting someone who does the work you have in mind. The set-up is described at the career programme.
In technical trades the question rarely sits with what you can do. More often it concerns the environment and the way of working, and both can be examined properly.

Career coaching in Hengelo and nearby
Our Hengelo location sits on Hamerstraat, on the estate at the north side. High tech, manufacturing and engineering give this town its character, with defence electronics and machine building as the best known names. Searching for other work keeps revealing the same thing: people look at their field, while it matters more whether they work with people, with things or with data.
In Hengelo and the rest of Twente many people work in engineering, manufacturing and healthcare. Within those fields the work differs sharply: one person designs, another builds and a third plans. The career question here is therefore less about the sector and more about the way you want to work. That distinction sits at the centre of the conversations.
About Hengelo
Good to know about Hengelo
Three kinds of engineering on one site
On a single estate here you find designers behind a screen, fitters at a cabinet and planners inside a system. The same sector, three entirely different ways of working.
Enschede and Almelo ten minutes away
The three towns form one labour market and that makes a considerable difference to the supply. Drawing that circle means no move is needed for a wider choice.
Certificates weigh heavily in defence and engineering
At a number of employers here a screening or a trade certificate is part of the procedure. That takes time, so it pays to know beforehand what is required.
Hamerstraat, at the north side
There is room to park at the door and the station is a short ride away. The programme can run without travelling at all.
With people, with things or with data
Within the same field you can mostly collaborate, mostly build or mostly analyse. That distinction predicts your satisfaction better than the job title does.
Paperwork carries weight here
At a number of employers a certificate or screening is part of the procedure. Knowing what is required saves months of preparation.
Twente is one search area
Hengelo, Enschede and Almelo lie close together, so a move rarely means relocating. That widens your choice without changing your week.
What does career coaching at Care4Careers look like?
From trade to shape
Where we spend most time depends on your question.
The steps below usually follow one another in this order.
Intake meeting
You explain what it turns on and we see whether coaching fits here. At the Hamerstraat or by video, without obligation.
Who am I? Why do I work? What can I do?
We look at your trade knowledge and at how you work: alone or with others, delivering or designing.
What do I want?
You decide which kind of work you are after and under which conditions. A <a href="/en/kenniscentrum/loopbaanbegeleiding/gratis-loopbaantest">career test</a> adds to that picture.
Drawing up a plan of action
On paper goes which roles connect, which paperwork belongs with them and in what order you arrange it.
Realising the Next Step
You take the step and can fall back on the coach while the new work still has to bed in.
What you are working towards
You know which type of work belongs with you and what you start with.
From practice here
Themes from Hengelo and its surroundings
These four we hear most.
A different kind of work within the same trade
From delivering to preparing, from building to designing, or from engineering to customer contact. That is a question of direction, not a change of sector. Explained at what sort of work fits you.
Knowing which paperwork is required
Certificates and screening take time, and not every role asks the same. We map what is needed before you start applying.
Growing on or specialising instead
More responsibility or more depth are both full steps, though they ask different things of you. More on that on changing jobs.
Doubt that has been there a while
Without an acute trigger a career question is easily left alone. A career scan makes it discussable.
Who pays for the guidance
With a dismissal, outplacement generally fits better.
Where your employer takes on guidance towards other work, we speak of outplacement. What fits in your case we establish together.
If none of that applies, the subject is simply the direction you want to take.
Who guides you
Career coaches at the Hamerstraat
One coach guides you from the first conversation until after your decision. You meet at the Hamerstraat or by video, at times that fit your working hours.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about career coaching in Hengelo
How many conversations will it be?
Four to six conversations over a couple of months, and fewer with a sharply defined question. There is a page about the work of the career coach.
What does it cost?
The rate starts at 1,000 euros excluding VAT and depends further on the scope. What a programme costs is at the cost of career coaching. The introduction is free.
Can my employer pay for this?
It happens, for example out of a training or development budget. Ask which arrangement applies to you.
Do I need to know which way I want to go?
No. The first part of the programme exists precisely to settle that.
Can it happen outside working hours?
Yes. Yes, online career coaching can cover the whole programme.
Where is Care4Careers in Hengelo?
Hamerstraat 10, 7556 MZ Hengelo, on the estate north of the centre. Pass on your visit and we will assign someone to it.
Which towns belong here?
This location covers Borne, Delden, Oldenzaal, Haaksbergen and Goor; Enschede and Almelo are each ten minutes away.
I want to stay in engineering. Is coaching still useful?
Yes. Many questions are precisely about the shape of the work within the same field: another kind of task, another level of responsibility or another environment.
