Outplacement: support towards a new future
What is outplacement?
Outplacement is usually funded by the employer. You work with a dedicated coach throughout the programme. That opening conversation costs nothing and ties you to nothing.
The reason the phases sit in this particular order is explained on what an outplacement programme involves.
What does an outplacement process look like at Care4Careers in Harderwijk?
Our approach in 5 steps
The programme runs through five steps that succeed one another and takes three to six months in total. That structure is what sets outplacement apart from a course in job hunting.
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
How many years were you in it, and what came along in that time without ever being recorded?
Coaching and assessment
Questionnaires and conversation surface what you can do, including what you consider perfectly ordinary.
Preparing for the market
Your profile is rewritten for someone who does not know your old employer.
Job search and network
You approach companies directly. After years inside that takes getting used to, so we practise first.
Aftercare and support
You are working elsewhere and we stay contactable for as long as it all still feels unfamiliar.
When making a new choice becomes part of your career
When outplacement is used
Some people have time to adjust gradually; others need clarity quickly. The programme therefore does not always start in the same place.
Organisational change removes your job
If your position disappears, we make the experience behind it understandable and relevant beyond that one employer.
A fixed-term contract expires
Before the last working day, you can decide which directions to explore and what preparation they require.
Both sides jointly agree to terminate employment
Professional support can be included in a mutual exit, helping you move into the next phase with a clearer plan.
The former workplace is no longer sustainable after absence
If returning is not feasible and employment ends, we focus on work that better suits your present circumstances.
Outplacement in Harderwijk
From work to work, after years in the same place
Anyone who works somewhere briefly knows how applying goes. Anyone who sat there twenty years can do far more but has no language to write it down. That difference decides where a programme has to push hardest.
We know the employers on the North Veluwe
The hospital, the trading firms, the installation sector and the municipalities. With one it runs through personnel, with the next through the shop floor.
Your employer covers the cost
The amount is usually fixed before you have any say. Have the document read through by someone who knows the field before you put your name to it: having your settlement agreement reviewed. Where the amount comes from is broken down on what an outplacement programme costs.
Internal job titles we translate
A pay grade, an abbreviation or a project name means nothing outside your old employer. We replace them with what you solved; see writing a CV after redundancy.
Also once you have just started
After years in one place everything is new: the people, the systems, the manners. Through those weeks you can still call your guide.
What you are working towards
You can explain in plain language what you did all those years, and it produced work.
Who guides you
The coaches at Ceintuurbaan
You work with a dedicated coach throughout the agreed programme. If aftercare is included, contact can also continue after you start your new role. A coach who understands what a long period with the same employer can mean when you start exploring your career options again. At our location on the Ceintuurbaan or by video, whichever suits you.

About Harderwijk
Good to know about Harderwijk
Long service is the rule here
Fifteen or twenty years with the same employer is common. That produces deep knowledge and a CV written in internal terms, which nobody outside the building reads.
Zwolle, Amersfoort and Apeldoorn half an hour away
From the A28 and the railway you reach three mid-sized cities without moving house. That widens the supply considerably for anyone willing to drive.
Construction and installation have been short for years
From housebuilding to maintenance and installation work, demand outstrips supply. People without a technical qualification sometimes get in through work preparation, planning or estimating, roles where insight and precision count for more than a certificate.
Ceintuurbaan, close to the A28
There is free parking in front of the building and a bus runs from the station; from the centre you are here in five minutes. If you would rather stay home, it all runs on video. Parking is free and the ride from the centre takes five minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about outplacement
I have been here twenty years. Is that a disadvantage?
A long period with one employer can provide a great deal of relevant experience. We make sure your CV shows not only where you worked, but also the responsibilities, results and skills you developed there.
What does a programme cost?
It runs from 2,000 to 5,000 euros, VAT excluded. The exact figure hangs on the chosen components and the running time, and it is on paper before anything reaches the diary.
Do I have to look towards Zwolle or Amersfoort?
Not necessarily. Inside a fifteen minute drive there is more than most people reckon on, with the weight of it in healthcare, installation engineering and trading companies. If you do want to look further, Zwolle, Amersfoort and Apeldoorn are all half an hour away. Which roles belong with that is covered on what kind of work suits me.
I have no qualifications but plenty of experience.
On the Veluwe years on the shop floor often weigh more heavily than paper. The awkward part is that such experience reads flatter on paper than it is in reality. We solve that by writing down, per period, what was built, repaired or led under your hands, with figures attached wherever they can be traced.
How soon can it start?
Five to seven working days after the assignment is agreed you can begin. Anything you send reaches a reply that same day, or otherwise the day after.
We are registering several colleagues at once. Is that one programme?
No. One has been there three years and another twenty-three, and that asks for an entirely different structure. Every employee picks the modules that fit, together with their coach. What you can choose from is at the eight modules.
Where do I find Care4Careers in Harderwijk?
