Individual outplacement
The programme is designed and targeted to support people going through a career change – dismissed persons, jobseekers, and persons changing their career paths. The programme is tailored to the Participant’s needs with the focus on individual consultations / coaching and the use of a variety of development tools (Development Centre, tests, professional image building).
Group outplacement
Outplacement programme for a larger group of employees who are parting ways with the current employer for reasons attributable to the organisation resulting from changes in the company’s business model, structural changes, a merger or cost optimisation.
Group programmes are a standardised offer, with elements customised in terms of professional profiles, industry and possibilities of the local labour market of the Participants.
Executive programme
The Executive Programme is designed to address the needs of top executives facing the challenge of reentering the labour market. The programme is always tailored to the expectations and aspirations of a specific manager and is a combination of advanced career coaching, AC/DC sessions, personal brand building tools and networking support.
