Outplacement
Outplacement Raalte - Find guidance in case of dismissal
In Salland a trade is still largely passed from one colleague to the next, which means much of what people know was built on the job and written down nowhere. Outplacement in Raalte begins by putting that experience in order and describing it so that a next employer recognises its value straight away.
- A coach who knows the Salland firms
- Attention for what you learned on the floor
- Eight building blocks, you set the order
- Also with a collective departure

Outplacement: support towards a new future
What is outplacement?
In Raalte the work starts with an inventory of what you learned on the shop floor, because that is where the openings with employers in Salland begin. Much of it was never written down and therefore has to be put into words first. The introductory conversation is free of charge.
What the phases involve and how long a programme usually runs is set out at what an outplacement programme involves.
What does an outplacement process look like at Care4Careers in Raalte?
Our approach in 5 steps
The five phases below start with your experience and end with an employer. Approaching firms only becomes worthwhile at the point where you can explain what you bring with you.
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
We start with your career so far, and with the question of what you could do by the end of your last job that you could not do at the beginning. That development is the starting point for everything that follows.
Coaching and assessment
Through conversation and career assessment we map which knowledge belonged to your former employer and which simply travels with you. That distinction shows which roles are within reach and which still call for an intermediate step.
Preparing for the market
We build your CV and your profile around what you learned to do, rather than around whatever your department happened to be called. An employer in Salland then sees at a glance what you could mean on their shop floor.
Job search and network
You approach employers yourself, well prepared and one organisation at a time, while we work out who you need to reach. In an area with many family businesses, a personal conversation tends to open more doors than an application portal.
Aftercare and support
Once you have started, we look on over the months that follow to see whether the knowledge you brought is genuinely being used, and whether anything needs adjusting along the way.

Reasons to explore employment beyond the organisation
When outplacement is used
Outplacement can begin for several reasons. We use your circumstances as context and turn them into a practical plan for moving forward.
Your position disappears following internal change
When your job is removed, we make your professional and practical experience visible to employers elsewhere.
The end of your temporary employment is approaching
The final period can be used to investigate your next direction rather than waiting until after the contract has ended.
Termination is agreed together
A departure package can provide room for professional support with your next career move.
A different career route follows a prolonged absence
If a sustainable return is no longer realistic and employment ends, we focus on work that better fits your current circumstances.
Outplacement in Raalte
From work to work, with what you learned on the way
A CV states what your job was called and who you worked for. What it does not state is what you learned there, and that is the only thing you take with you. In an area where the trade passes from colleague to colleague, that is almost always more than people realise.
We know the firms in Salland
The processors, the machine builders, the care institutions and the municipalities. At a family business an interview runs differently than at a large employer.
Unwritten knowledge we make visible
Knowledge and skills developed through practical experience can be just as relevant to a future employer. We help you describe that experience clearly and make it visible in your professional profile.
Your old employer pays for the guidance
The amount belongs in your departure settlement; have it checked before you agree: having your settlement agreement reviewed.
Also once you have started
At a new employer you have to show all over again what you can do. Through those first months your coach stays reachable.
What you are working towards
You can name what you learned over all those years, and work came out of it.
Who guides you
Your dedicated coach at the Stationsstraat
There is one coach who supports you from the first conversation until after you start, with knowledge of the manufacturers, the agrifood businesses and the care institutions in Salland. What you built up in practice you put into words together, so that you can set it out calmly in an interview. We can meet at the Stationsstraat or by video call.
Our office
Outplacement in Raalte and nearby
Our Raalte location sits on Stationsstraat, in the village centre. Salland leans on manufacturing, agrifood and healthcare, with Zwolle and Deventer both twenty minutes away. After a departure the attention here goes mainly to what your job was called, while the more useful question is what your employer actually taught you over all those years.
About Raalte
Good to know about Raalte
Food processing and machine building side by side
Around Raalte sit processors, machine builders and suppliers, often in family hands. Anyone working there learns the trade on the floor and rarely from a course folder.
Training here happens in house
A lot of knowledge passes from colleague to colleague without any certificate involved. That is valuable and at the same time invisible the moment you apply.
Zwolle and Deventer twenty minutes away
Two mid-sized cities within reach, each with its own labour market in healthcare, engineering and services. Including both gives considerably more choice.
Stationsstraat, in the centre
A short walk from the station with parking nearby. Doing it all at a distance is possible too.
The region at a glance
The labour market in Raalte

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about outplacement
I have no qualifications, only experience. Does that count?
Practical experience is not always immediately visible on a CV. We therefore describe what you have created, solved, improved or managed and identify the skills demonstrated by those experiences.
I worked twenty years at the same family business.
A long period with one employer can provide a great deal of relevant experience. We make clear how you developed during that time and which knowledge and responsibilities you can bring to a new role.
Do you include Zwolle and Deventer?
As standard, because both are twenty minutes away and together they offer far more choice than Salland alone. Wanting to stay in your own area, we keep to Raalte, Heino and Wijhe and mention that the supply is then smaller.
What does a programme cost?
Financially you are between 2,000 and 5,000 euros excluding VAT; your own input and the lead time point to the amount. You see it before the start.
How soon can it begin?
A week or so after confirmation of the assignment. Anyone sending something usually hears back within a day.
Several people are leaving us. Do they get the same?
No. One mainly built up trade knowledge and another mainly learned how to keep a shift running, and that points at different work. Every employee picks the modules that fit, together with their coach. The layout of the programme is at the programme in modules.
Where is Care4Careers in Raalte?

Which towns belong here?
Heino, Luttenberg, Wijhe, Olst, Nieuwleusen and Dalfsen are included. Zwolle and Deventer both lie twenty minutes away.
