Outplacement: support towards a new future
What is outplacement?
Under an outplacement arrangement the employer ending your contract carries the cost of the guidance. A single coach stays with you for the duration, and the opening conversation is free of charge and free of commitment, even where you afterwards decide against the whole thing.
The order the phases come in, and the reasoning behind that order, is explained under what an outplacement programme involves.
What does an outplacement process look like at Care4Careers in Bilthoven?
Our approach in 5 steps
Allow three to six months, made up of five consecutive phases. That is where an outplacement programme differs from loose help with applications: a route exists, including on the days nothing comes in.
Many people opt for a modular programme: together with your coach you decide where to put the effort. Here you will find our modules.
Personal intake
What exactly did you do, and which part of it do you want to see again in what comes next?
Coaching and assessment
Your trade pulled apart into separate skills, so it becomes visible where else each of them is asked for.
Labour market preparation
Your experience written down in words that mean something outside your old field as well.
Job search and network
You approach employers yourself, including the organisations that recruit through fixed procedures.
Aftercare and guidance
You are in the job and we check whether the part you carried over is genuinely being used.

Four different starting points for outplacement
When outplacement is used
Departure circumstances vary. One programme may therefore begin with career exploration while another can move directly into market activity.
Organisational change leaves you redundant
When your position disappears, we translate the expertise behind that role into possibilities beyond the existing organisation.
Your fixed-term agreement expires
Time before the final date can be used to clarify what comes next, giving you a better-prepared start to the search.
You agree together that it is time to move on
Where departure is mutually arranged, employer-funded transition support can form part of the overall agreement.
A return to your former job is no longer realistic
If a prolonged absence ultimately results in departure, we reassess what work could now be suitable and sustainable.
Outplacement in Bilthoven
What you take with you weighs more than what you leave behind
After spending years in the same field, leaving a job can feel like starting again. In reality, you take a great deal with you: professional knowledge, problem-solving skills and practical experience. We explore where those strengths could be useful next.
We know the employers around Utrecht
The care institutions, the knowledge and research organisations, the municipalities and the companies on and around the Science Park. Which of them select on fixed requirements and which on substance, we know from practice.
Your trade is wider than your job title
A job title tells only part of the story. Together, we identify the knowledge, skills and responsibilities behind it, making it easier to see where else your experience could be valuable.
The cost lies with your former employer
Whatever the two of you settled on belongs, amount included, in the document that ends your employment. Have someone read it through, and sign only after that: having your settlement agreement reviewed.
The first months in your new place, too
Whether your trade really moved with you shows only once you have to apply it again on unfamiliar ground. Through that period your coach stays available.
What you are working towards
You are in work where the part of your trade you wanted to keep is actually put to use.
Who guides you
The coaches at Frans Halslaan
The coach you meet first is the coach who sees it through, someone familiar with the care, knowledge and government employers around Utrecht and who pulls your trade apart until it is clear what is usable where. Meet at Frans Halslaan, or work entirely by video.
Our office
Outplacement in Bilthoven and nearby
You will find our Bilthoven location on Frans Halslaan, within walking distance of the station and ten train minutes from Utrecht. Care, knowledge institutions and government services give this municipality its profile, and that produces careers with a great deal of depth. After a dismissal the conversation here is therefore nearly always about the same thing: how much of your trade do you take with you into what comes next, and which part do you let go.
About Bilthoven
Good to know about Bilthoven
Research and knowledge work sit close by
In De Bilt and at the Utrecht Science Park are research and knowledge organisations where people spend years on a single subject. That depth is valuable and at the same time hard to translate, because outside the field nobody recognises the terms it is written down in.
Government and semi-public employers
Selection here runs through described role requirements and fixed procedures. That makes it slow but also traceable: anyone who knows exactly what the requirements say can lay their experience against them deliberately instead of guessing.
Care, IT and engineering are hiring
The tightness in this region sits in care, IT, engineering and education. Which means subject knowledge from a neighbouring field counts more often than it would in a loose market, even where the diploma does not formally belong with it.
Frans Halslaan, close to the station
From Utrecht Centraal the train gets you here in ten minutes and there is parking in the street. Prefer not to travel, then the whole programme runs by video.
The region at a glance
The labour market in Bilthoven
This municipality runs on care, on knowledge institutions and on government services, while the shortage sits with care, IT, engineering and education. The train puts you in Utrecht in ten minutes, which multiplies the number of employers within reach. That counts above all when you want to keep part of your trade and can therefore only go to a handful of organisations.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about outplacement
My field is highly specialised. Is there anything for me outside it?
Nearly always, though at first it looks otherwise. Specialisation rarely means you can do one thing only; it means you did one thing very deeply, with analysing, advising, writing and consulting practised around it for years. Naming those parts separately usually opens up a far wider search area than your job title suggests.
I work in government. Do different rules apply?
The collective agreement and the rules on redundancy differ per tier of government, and sometimes a fixed amount or a ceiling is written in. Which is exactly why you have the document checked before signing. It changes nothing about the guidance itself: the same coach, the same components.
I do not want to travel to Utrecht. Is enough left over?
Yes, though the supply is narrower. De Bilt, Zeist and Soest hold care institutions, schools, municipalities and mid-sized companies, enough for a targeted search where your trade occurs there. Where it does not, half an hour of travel is on some days the difference between three employers and thirty, and we work that out for you in advance.
What does a programme cost?
The figure sits between 2.000 and 5.000 euro, VAT excluded. It follows from the number of components used and the length of the programme, broken down at what an outplacement programme costs, and your employer has it in writing before anything is scheduled.
How soon can it start?
As a rule a week after the assignment is confirmed. Send us something and you have a reply by the following working day at the latest.
We are reorganising a department of specialists. What does that mean?
That calls for an approach per person, because two specialists with the same job title rarely carry the same things with them. Together with their coach, each employee puts together their own combination of modules and keep the arrangements with the organisation the same. See the modules of the programme.
