Outplacement programme Canon

Why start an outplacement programme?

Your programme, your choices. It is all about what you need.

Outplacement offers guidance after dismissal or departure and helps you turn that change into a new opportunity. An outplacement programme not only helps you process your goodbye, but also gives you the tools, the insight and the motivation to work purposefully towards a new step in your career. You take centre stage, with tailor-made support.

Confidence & Direction

Through personal coaching you discover what you are good at and what energises you. This way you build a new future from a position of strength.

Targeted guidance

From interview training to personal branding: everything to strengthen your profile.

Tailor-made programme

An outplacement programme with us is not a standard programme. You choose the modules that fit your situation, goals and pace yourself. This way you get exactly the guidance that works for you.

Achieving career goals

Together we set clear goals and guide you at every step towards a new job.

Support with entrepreneurship

Even if you want to start as a self-employed professional, we guide you in building your business.

Practical support at every step

From drawing up a strong CV to preparing for job interviews: you are never on your own.
