Career coaching: professional guidance for your career
What is career coaching?
Career coaching consists of a number of conversations with one coach, spread over several months. You work out what you want and what it would take, testing that in practice in between. At the career programme you read the structure.
Work in this area differs strongly in form: outdoors, in a workshop or behind a desk. Which of the three belongs with you rarely comes up and explains a lot. We take it up, together with the experience you bring. See further which work suits you.

Career coaching in Schipluiden and nearby
Our Schipluiden location stands on Woudseweg, in the middle of Midden-Delfland. Horticulture, logistics and engineering shape this area, with the Westland and Delft immediately around the corner. What plays a bigger part here after a departure than elsewhere is where your working day actually happens: at a desk, in a hall, or outdoors.
Midden-Delfland sits between the greenhouses of the Westland and the cities of Delft, The Hague and Rotterdam. That produces work in very different forms: outdoors, in a workshop, in logistics or behind a desk. The career question here is therefore often about the form of the work and not only about its content.
About Schipluiden
Good to know about Schipluiden
Greenhouses as far as you can see
The Westland starts practically at the village edge. Behind the glass sits not only cultivation but also engineering, logistics, quality and sales, and those four call for very different people.
Delft, The Hague and Rotterdam close by
Delft lies ten minutes away, The Hague and Rotterdam both half an hour. That puts office work within reach without having to move away from the greenery.
Engineering behind the horticulture
Climate systems, packing lines and transport keep the sector running. Anyone working there has technical knowledge that counts outside horticulture too.
Woudseweg, in the village
There is room to park at the door and Delft is ten minutes away. Doing it all remotely is possible too.
The form of your working day counts
Working outdoors, standing in a hall or sitting in an office each asks something different of you. Drawing that distinction makes a search more focused than going by job titles alone.
Technical knowledge reaches beyond the sector
Installations, maintenance and planning exist everywhere. What you learned in the horticultural chain is often directly usable elsewhere once it is put in plain terms.
Peaks are part of it, uncertainty need not be
Seasonal work brings variety and sometimes little to hold on to. In the conversations you decide which parts you want to keep and where you are looking for more stability.
What does career coaching at Care4Careers look like?
From exploring to choosing
Where the emphasis falls is set by your question.
The order below is the usual one.
Intake meeting
You explain what occupies you and together we see whether coaching is the right means here. At the Woudseweg or online.
Who am I? Why do I work? What can I do?
We set out your experience, from trade knowledge to the way you work, separately from the sector in which you gained it.
What do I want?
You decide what you are after in form of work, responsibility and security. A <a href="/en/kenniscentrum/loopbaanbegeleiding/gratis-loopbaantest">career test</a> can help set the direction.
Drawing up a plan of action
The plan names the steps, the order and the things you still need.
Realising the Next Step
You get to work with that plan and use the remaining conversations to check whether it runs as intended.
What you are working towards
You know in which form and direction you want to continue, and which step belongs first.
What it turns on here
Career matters in Schipluiden
These four dominate the conversations.
From seasonal work to something steady
Work with peaks and troughs builds broad experience and little security. Turning that into a steady position raises the question of which parts you want to keep.
Outdoors, workshop or office
Where your working day takes place often weighs more than the job title. We map which setting suits you and which roles belong with it.
Using technical knowledge more widely
Knowledge of installations, maintenance or logistics travels well beyond its own sector. Read also career scan.
Whether or not to study further
A course can make a step possible, though it is not always the first step. First we map what you can already demonstrate. See further a career switch.
When your contract runs out
Career coaching or outplacement depends on who pays for the guidance.
If your contract is ending and the employer covers guidance towards other work, outplacement is the better fit. Together we decide which programme suits your situation.
If no departure is at hand, the conversation is about the direction you want to choose yourself and career coaching is the programme.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about career coaching in Schipluiden
How many times do we meet?
Typically four to six appointments across a couple of months. With a defined question fewer are needed. We cover the career coach on another page.
What are the costs?
We do not go below 1,000 euros excluding VAT; above that the number of conversations counts. For prices we refer you to the cost of career coaching. No charge applies to the first conversation.
Can this go through my employer?
Sometimes, for instance from a training budget. Ask your employer which possibilities exist.
Do I need an idea before I start?
No. An unclear question is a perfectly good starting point; the programme begins by sharpening it.
Can I take part remotely?
Yes. Yes, we work with online career coaching too.
