Outplacement: support towards a new future
What is outplacement?
Outplacement in Dordrecht turns to your network early, because in the Drechtsteden most jobs are taken before any vacancy appears. That works in your favour when your contacts are spread out, and against you when nearly everyone you know works at the same yard or supplier you are now leaving. A first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
How the phases are structured is explained in what an outplacement programme involves.
What does an outplacement process look like at Care4Careers in Dordrecht?
Our approach in 5 steps
Three to six months, divided into five steps whose order does not shift. That is how an outplacement programme differs from loose help with applying.
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
Who do you know, and where do those people work by now? That is usually a longer list than you think.
Coaching and assessment
What can you do, and which part of it is also in demand outside the cluster?
Preparing for the market
Your profile names what you built or solved, in language understood ashore as well.
Job search and network
You work through your list, prepared and without asking for work. Every conversation we review.
Aftercare and support
You have started and we stay reachable while the new is still new.
When guidance becomes part of the transition
When outplacement is used
A career outside the current organisation can come into view in several ways. We determine where your support should begin.
Organisational change removes your work
When the role ends, we show how your experience and achievements can be presented to another employer.
Your fixed-term agreement will not continue
The remaining contract period can be used to organise your next move, so your search does not need to begin after departure.
Professional support is agreed during termination
Where employer and employee choose to part company, outplacement can be included in the wider arrangements.
A different workplace becomes necessary after long-term absence
If a sustainable return is unavailable and employment ends, support focuses on finding a workable external role.
Outplacement in Dordrecht
From work to work, with the people you already know
Most jobs here are filled before a vacancy ever appears. That is good news if your network sits in the right place, and a problem if everyone you know works at the employer you are now leaving.
We know the firms along the water
Yards, suppliers, transhipment and the installation sector, plus healthcare in the town. Where to knock differs per company and we know that. In a reorganisation: dismissal through reorganisation.
Networking without asking for work
Asking for a job rarely produces anything; asking how things are going with them does. That is the subject of networking to find work.
The cost comes from your employer
That should appear in the document you are handed. Have it read before you sign: having your settlement agreement reviewed.
After your first working day too
A new place in a small circle means your old contacts remain. How you handle that we discuss in those first months.
What you are working towards
You know who to call and what for, and that route produced work.
Who guides you
The coach at the Vissersdijk Beneden
In the old town sits a coach who knows the maritime cluster of the Drechtsteden from the inside: the yards, the suppliers and the transhipment firms. Precisely because so many jobs here are filled through acquaintances, part of the programme goes to widening your network beyond that single chain. Rotterdam is twenty minutes away and counts. You come by or you meet on video.
Our office
Outplacement in Dordrecht and nearby
Our Dordrecht location stands on Vissersdijk Beneden, close to the water in the old town. Maritime, manufacturing and logistics shape the Drechtsteden; shipbuilding, supply and transhipment have been here for generations. In such a close-knit area one thing stands out after a departure: almost everyone knows someone, yet far from everyone can use that.
About Dordrecht
Good to know about Dordrecht
A maritime cluster passed from father to son
Yards, machine shops and suppliers sit close together here and have worked together for decades. Inside that cluster you know many people; wanting out of it, you notice the network stops at the quayside.
Rotterdam twenty minutes away
By rail or the A16 you are inside the largest labour market in the country within half an hour. Breda lies half an hour off and is just as easy via the same motorway.
Engineering and healthcare are calling for people
Alongside the maritime cluster, healthcare and installation work are growing fast. Those are two worlds that rarely overlap with shipbuilding, and interesting for exactly that reason.
Vissersdijk Beneden, in the old town
Ten minutes on foot from the station with parking garages nearby. The programme can also run without meeting in person at all.
The region at a glance
The labour market in Dordrecht
Maritime, manufacturing and logistics carry the Drechtsteden, and the demand sits in engineering, logistics and healthcare. The first two connect to what is already there; healthcare is the exception and a realistic alternative for that very reason.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about outplacement
I do not want my employer to hear that I am looking. Is that possible?
Yes, and in a region where everyone knows everyone that is a fair concern. Employers can be approached without your name attached, and together we settle which contacts stay off the list. While you are still employed we keep it discreet.
I work in shipbuilding. Where else can I go?
Further than the quayside. Working at a yard means working with drawings, tolerances, planning and safety, and all four count in installation work, process industry, construction and maintenance. Those are different employers with comparable work. How the amount builds up: what an outplacement programme costs.
Do you include Rotterdam?
As standard, because twenty minutes by rail is no distance here. Rotterdam has a multiple of the technical and logistics roles. Staying within the Drechtsteden is fine and we will keep to it.
What does a programme cost?
Expect 2,000 to 5,000 euros excluding VAT; the chosen building blocks and the duration set the exact figure. You see it before anything gets under way.
How soon can it begin?
A good week after confirmation of the assignment. Messages are as a rule answered within 24 hours.
A whole department is winding down with us. Does everyone get the same?
No. One has a network spread right across the sector and another knows only people inside their own company, and that calls for a different approach. Each employee builds a programme from our modules together with their coach. An outline is at the modules of the programme.
