Outplacement: support towards a new future
What is outplacement?
Around Gorinchem working for yourself is no exception, which is why that possibility belongs in the programme here. We examine what running a business in metalwork, shipbuilding or transport genuinely asks of you in terms of clients, administration and staying power, and whether that matches your experience and your circumstances. The introductory conversation is free of charge.
Why the phases fit together this way is explained on what an outplacement programme involves.
What does an outplacement process look like at Care4Careers in Gorinchem?
Our approach in 5 steps
Three to six months added up, along five steps that come in order. That is where an outplacement programme parts company with advice handed out piecemeal.
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
Do you want an employer or do you want clients? We ask that before anything else happens.
Coaching and assessment
What can you do, and does that suit working at your own risk or precisely not?
Preparing for the market
Your profile is built for the route you choose; a client reads differently from a personnel manager.
Job search and network
You approach firms yourself. In an area of family businesses a conversation counts more than a letter.
Aftercare and support
You have begun and we test whether the form you picked holds up over time.
When it is time to organise your next professional move
When outplacement is used
People do not enter outplacement from identical circumstances. We first identify which part of the transition now needs attention.
Restructuring makes your position unnecessary
If the organisation removes your role, we explore where your experience can remain relevant in another setting.
The end date of your temporary work is known
The time available can be used to choose focus and build your approach to employers before the contract ends.
A settlement agreement formalises departure
Where termination is arranged through an agreement, funding for support towards new work may also be included.
Returning after absence is no longer the next step
If employment ends and the former workplace is no longer suitable, we determine what kind of work fits better now.
Outplacement in Gorinchem
From work to work, or on your own account
Self-employment can be a serious career option, but that does not automatically make it the right one. We explore what running your own business would require and whether it fits your motivation, experience and circumstances.
We know the firms along the river
Shipbuilding, metal, installation, transport and healthcare. An interview at a family business runs along other lines than one at a large employer, and we prepare you for that difference.
Going independent we calculate through
Turnover, hours, insurance, pension and the months without income. Only once that sum adds up is it a plan rather than an idea.
Your employer pays for the guidance
The settlement you are offered ought to state it. Let someone with knowledge of the field go through it, and sign only afterwards: having your settlement agreement reviewed.
After your first assignment or working day too
Whether you judged the choice well shows in the first months. Throughout that period your coach stays reachable.
What you are working towards
You chose between an employer and clients, and that choice rested on figures.
Who guides you
Your coach at the Edisonweg
At the Edisonweg you work with a coach who knows metalwork, shipbuilding and transport around the Merwede, along with the family firms that set the tone there. If you are considering working for yourself, that gets worked through rather than encouraged. Utrecht, Den Bosch and Dordrecht are half an hour away and belong in the conversation. Meetings can also run remotely.
Our office
Outplacement in Gorinchem and nearby
Our Gorinchem location stands on Edisonweg, on the estate by the Merwede. The larger part of the jobs here sits in metalwork, shipbuilding, transport and healthcare, with a dense layer of family businesses around them. In that setting working for yourself is no exception, and after a forced departure the question regularly comes up: do you still want to be employed at all.
About Gorinchem
Good to know about Gorinchem
Many firms here are family businesses
Metal, shipbuilding, installation and trade are often in their second or third generation. That means short lines, few formal procedures and an interview that is mostly about the person.
Working for yourself is ordinary here
In engineering and construction a sizeable share of people work on their own account. That puts the step close by, but it does not make it sensible by itself.
Three directions, thirty minutes' driving each
Gorinchem sits where the A15 and A27 cross, which puts Utrecht, Den Bosch and Dordrecht each half an hour away. That gives you three labour markets at once with no question of moving house, and it weighs heavily when your trade exists at only a handful of employers.
Edisonweg, by the Merwede
You can leave the car at the door and the town centre is a couple of minutes off. The programme can also run entirely digitally.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about outplacement
Is starting for myself sensible after a dismissal?
Sometimes yes and often not straight away. The danger is choosing freedom because of what you have just been through rather than because clients are waiting. We first calculate what you need in turnover, buffer and insurance; if the plan still stands afterwards, it is a good plan.
Is entrepreneurship part of the programme?
Yes, entrepreneurship is one of the eight components you can choose. It covers your offering, your rate, your first clients and the administrative side. It replaces neither an accountant nor an adviser, but it does prevent you starting without a plan.
Do you include Utrecht and Den Bosch?
Certainly. Because two motorways meet here, Utrecht, Den Bosch and Dordrecht all lie within a thirty minute drive. Wanting to stay in the region, we keep to the Alblasserwaard and the Vijfheerenlanden.
What does a programme cost?
In money terms it comes to 2,000 up to 5,000 euros, VAT excluded. The components you select and the months involved set the amount, and it is settled before anything begins.
How soon can it begin?
A week after the assignment is signed, roughly. Anyone approaching us usually gets an answer within a day.
We are letting several people go. Do they get the same?
No. One is after security and another wants to start for themselves, and that calls for completely different preparation. The coach and the employee decide together which modules come up. Further reading: the make-up of the programme.
