Second-Track Reintegration
Reintegration office in Hengelo
When it is established that an employee will not return to their own role, work with another employer comes into view. Care4Careers guides the second track from Hengelo, in a region shaped by high tech, industry and engineering, and works with a case file aligned with what the assessment asks for.

The second track briefly explained
Suitable work outside your own company, with sound substantiation
As soon as a return to the employee's own role is ruled out and no suitable position is available internally, the second track comes into view. It is established which work remains feasible, the employee builds up capacity and then turns towards other employers. How the phases are structured is set out at the second track programme.
Alongside meeting the statutory obligation, there is a practical consideration here. At a number of employers, a security screening or a trade certificate forms part of the procedure, and that takes lead time you only have when the programme begins early.
Our office
Second-track reintegration in Hengelo and nearby
Our Hengelo location sits on Hamerstraat, on the estate at the north side. High tech, manufacturing and engineering give this town its character, with defence electronics and machine building as the best known names. Searching for other work keeps revealing the same thing: people look at their field, while it matters more whether they work with people, with things or with data.
About Hengelo
Good to know about Hengelo
Three kinds of engineering on one site
On a single estate here you find designers behind a screen, fitters at a cabinet and planners inside a system. The same sector, three entirely different ways of working.
Enschede and Almelo ten minutes away
The three towns form one labour market and that makes a considerable difference to the supply. Drawing that circle means no move is needed for a wider choice.
Certificates weigh heavily in defence and engineering
At a number of employers here a screening or a trade certificate is part of the procedure. That takes time, so it pays to know beforehand what is required.
Hamerstraat, at the north side
There is room to park at the door and the station is a short ride away. The programme can run without travelling at all.
What the programme looks like
From intake to aftercare, step by step
The programme works through the steps below, together the second track programme. What happens within each step depends on the employee; that it is recorded in line with the Gatekeeper Improvement Act is fixed.
Intake meeting and situation overview
In the opening conversation, the coach and the employee go through the situation in full: what the company doctor has established, which work the employee did and where they want to go. From that follows an action plan drawn up around the UWV's requirements.
Capacity analysis & occupational health assessment
Capacity is then given substantiation. The FML and the additional medical information make clear which technical work remains feasible, and that is rarely a matter of all or nothing. The coach converts the outcome into goals and reports monthly.
Career scan & personal coaching
The career scan establishes whether the employee is at their best working with people, with things or with data. In engineering that distinction says more about suitable work than the trade itself does, and it produces a search profile with broader application.
Labour market exploration & job matching
We then go to market. Hengelo, Enschede and Almelo together form one labour market, with high tech, machine building, installation engineering and healthcare as the largest sources of demand. Where the move is a large one, we schedule a work experience placement first.
Active job search & network approach
The employee approaches employers deliberately, and at companies where a screening or certificate forms part of the procedure we set that application in motion early. CV and interview preparation are sharpened per employer and reviewed weekly.
Aftercare and sustainable placement
After the first working day, the coach remains available for two months, so that questions about the new workplace and the demands of the role can be discussed. At the same time we complete the reporting and deliver the reintegration report to the UWV.
Our way of working
Four questions that need answering in advance
When a file falls short at assessment, that is rarely down to a lack of effort. More often, a substantiated answer to one of these four questions is missing.
Which type of work stays within the employee's capacity?
In engineering, working on a machine differs fundamentally from working in a system or on a design. The occupational health assessment draws that distinction, which often shows that the trade can be retained while the way it is carried out changes.
Have the internal options genuinely been exhausted?
At an engineering company, design, assembly, work preparation and planning regularly sit under one roof. Go through those options and record which were considered and for what reason they were ruled out.
Where does the employee build up capacity?
A period in a work experience placement shows in practice whether other technical work is sustainable. That period also provides demonstrable effort for the file.
What happens in the event of a negative judgement?
A negative judgement means wages continue to be paid for up to 52 weeks longer. What that amounts to in money is described at the cost of a wage sanction.
What we are working towards
The employee is working in a role that falls within their capacity, and the file substantiates which considerations were made along the way.
High tech, industry and engineering
Why employers in Twente work with us
High tech, industry and engineering give this city its character, with IT and healthcare as sectors that have emphatically joined them. Long-term absence occurs across all of these areas.
Engineering here involves three ways of working
On the same site, designers work behind a screen, fitters work on a cabinet and planners work in a system. For an employee who cannot continue in hands-on work, a move within engineering is therefore often closer than a move to another sector.
Enschede and Almelo belong to the search area
The three cities lie ten to twenty minutes apart and in practice form a single labour market. That considerably widens the supply without travel time becoming a problem.
Screening and certificates take lead time
At a number of employers here, a security check or a trade certificate forms part of the procedure. We establish early what is required, so that an application does not cause a delay later on.
Recording that can carry the assessment
Contact moments, applications and outcomes are noted when they take place. At the assessment it is therefore possible to follow what was undertaken and what it produced.
What employers want to know
Questions about the second track in Twente
When should we start the second track?
As soon as it is established that the employee's own role will not return, there is reason to begin. Formally the law points to the first-year evaluation, but the company doctor's opinion may come earlier, and that head start counts. The duration of a second track programme sets out what lead time each phase requires.
What does a second track programme cost?
The duration and the chosen components together determine the amount. We propose a composition, you see the associated costs before anything is set in motion, and the first conversation is free of charge.
Our employee is a fitter and can no longer kneel or lift. Does engineering remain possible?
Often it does. The trade knowledge built up in hands-on work also counts in work preparation, quality control, service and the sale of technical products. What has to be learned again is not the trade itself, but the way it is written down.
A security screening forms part of the role with us. Does that delay the programme?
It does take lead time, which is why we establish early which requirements apply at the employers the employee approaches. By sorting that out at the start, an application does not run aground at the end of the programme.
