Career coaching: professional guidance for your career
What is career coaching?
A programme in Raalte consists of a handful of conversations with one coach, a few weeks apart. You use those weeks to try out what was discussed, because only then does a direction prove itself. The method is at the career programme.
Much of what you can do was learned in the work itself and never written down. Together we bring that knowledge and those skills into view, so you can name them in a conversation and see which directions suit them. More about this at a career switch.

Career coaching in Raalte and nearby
Our Raalte location sits on Stationsstraat, in the village centre. Salland leans on manufacturing, agrifood and healthcare, with Zwolle and Deventer both twenty minutes away. After a departure the attention here goes mainly to what your job was called, while the more useful question is what your employer actually taught you over all those years.
In this part of Overijssel people work in manufacturing, construction, healthcare and agrifood, often at companies where the trade is passed on from colleague to colleague. Career questions here are therefore seldom about a CV and mostly about what you built up and what you want to do with it. With one dedicated coach you bring that into view and attach a choice to it.
About Raalte
Good to know about Raalte
Food processing and machine building side by side
Around Raalte sit processors, machine builders and suppliers, often in family hands. Anyone working there learns the trade on the floor and rarely from a course folder.
Training here happens in house
A lot of knowledge passes from colleague to colleague without any certificate involved. That is valuable and at the same time invisible the moment you apply.
Zwolle and Deventer twenty minutes away
Two mid-sized cities within reach, each with its own labour market in healthcare, engineering and services. Including both gives considerably more choice.
Stationsstraat, in the centre
A short walk from the station with parking nearby. Doing it all at a distance is possible too.
What you can do is rarely written down
Knowledge picked up from colleagues counts in full, yet it is invisible to an outsider. In the conversations we make that knowledge nameable, so you can point to it when it matters.
Two cities within reach
Zwolle and Deventer are both twenty minutes away, each with its own supply in healthcare, engineering and services. How wide you make your search area partly decides which directions are realistic.
There is still room to take your time
While you are still working you can try something without a deadline hanging over it. That usually produces a better choice than deciding under pressure.
What does career coaching at Care4Careers look like?
From question to direction
Where most of the attention goes depends on your question.
The steps below show the usual order.
Intake meeting
You describe what it turns on and we weigh together whether coaching is the right means here. At the Stationsstraat, or remotely.
Who am I? Why do I work? What can I do?
We take stock of your working history, your skills and your motivations, and look at what stands apart from your current employer.
What do I want?
You name what you are after and which conditions apply: hours, physical load, travel. A <a href="/en/kenniscentrum/loopbaanbegeleiding/gratis-loopbaantest">career test</a> adds to your own picture.
Drawing up a plan of action
What comes out of the conversations is summarised in a plan with next steps and a timeline.
Realising the Next Step
You work through the steps, keeping track along the way of what works and what has to change.
What you are working towards
The direction is settled and the steps towards it are on paper.
Subjects from the conversations
Subjects from Raalte
Four subjects come up most often in this part of Overijssel.
Doubt without a clear trigger
Nothing has to be wrong before you review your career. Without time pressure you can weigh at leisure which parts to keep and which to change. More about this at which work would suit you.
Growing on inside the same company
From the floor into work preparation, planning or training new colleagues: such steps often sit closer than they appear. We look at what they require and whether they suit you.
Work you can keep doing for years
In physical work the question of how you will do this in ten or fifteen years comes up. That is a career question, and it is easier to answer before it starts to pinch.
Crossing into another sector
Moving from construction into engineering or healthcare takes more with you than expected, though each sector asks something of its own. A career scan draws it together.
When dismissal is in play
Which form fits depends on who pays for the guidance.
Where the guidance is paid for by your employer because your contract ends, outplacement is the fitting form. What works in your case we discuss beforehand.
Without a departure in view, the conversation turns on the direction you pick yourself; that is what career coaching covers.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about career coaching in Raalte
How many conversations are there in total?
Count on four to six conversations spread across a few months. With one defined choice fewer are needed. Elsewhere there is more about the coach.
What does it cost?
A short programme is 1,000 euros excluding VAT. The first thousand euros excluding VAT covers a short programme; longer ones cost more. Figures per variant are at the cost of career coaching. The introductory conversation is free.
Can my employer contribute?
A number of employers keep a budget for training or development that covers this. Ask your manager or HR what applies to you.
Do I have to know what I want first?
No. Plenty of people begin exactly because that is unclear. The opening stage of the programme is exactly about sharpening that question.
Is it possible outside working hours?
Yes. Yes, that works with online career coaching.
