Outplacement: support towards a new future
What is outplacement?
Outplacement in Eindhoven is work-to-work guidance, paid for by the employer and usually part of a settlement agreement. You get a dedicated coach who knows the regional labour market and who thinks along with you about direction, CV, network and applications. The aim is not simply another job, but a next step that fits what you can do and want to do, within reach of where you live. Whether you qualify depends on your situation: who is entitled to outplacement.
Want to know how the steps follow one another? Look at what an outplacement programme involves.
What does an outplacement process look like at Care4Careers in Eindhoven?
Our approach in 5 steps
This is how an outplacement programme is built: five steps in which self-insight, application skills, network and labour-market approach all come by. Outplacement thereby offers grip and perspective after dismissal.
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 discuss your situation, the arrangements with your employer and what you need. At our location on the Noord Brabantlaan or online, whichever suits you better.
Coaching and assessments
An involuntary exit hits hard. We take time for that first, and only then look at what you can do, what you want and where that fits in this region.
Labour market preparation
Together we chart which employers around Eindhoven suit you: clients, suppliers, secondment firms and the sectors where demand stays steady.
Job search and networking
We shape your CV and LinkedIn for that market, practise interviews and approach your regional network deliberately. In Dutch or in English.
Aftercare and guidance
We stay available after you start. The first months with a new employer often decide whether a move also feels right in the longer run.

When your career continues outside the organisation
When outplacement is used
The trigger may differ, but once an external move is required, a clear process helps turn uncertainty into progress.
Restructuring ends your current position
A disappearing role requires a new context for your expertise. We explore where that knowledge can create value next.
Your temporary period of employment is finishing
A known date gives you time to test options and prepare how you present yourself before leaving.
Departure is decided in mutual consultation
Employer-funded outplacement may be included when both parties agree to end the employment relationship.
Another workplace is more appropriate after absence
If the former role no longer offers a sustainable perspective and employment ends, we focus on work that better fits current circumstances.
Outplacement in Eindhoven
From work to work, with the change you are after
This region has shortages in many sectors at once, so there is work. The question is which change you want and what that realistically asks in time and retraining.
We know the employers here
From healthcare and education to engineering, logistics and professional services. Our coaches work from this region and speak to the organisations themselves.
Reducing specialism to skills
Years in a narrow field make you blind to what transfers. That translation starts at writing a CV after dismissal.
In English too
On the campuses and at international employers, English is the working language. Part of our team guides in it, including CV and interviews.
Components matched to the change
Keeping your trade calls for different components than retraining does.
What you are working towards
What you built up over years with one employer has been reduced to skills that are in just as much demand elsewhere in the chain.
Who runs your programme
The coaches at the Noord Brabantlaan
One contact person who knows the manufacturing sector and its suppliers here from the inside, and what experience makes a sideways step within the chain possible. You can meet at the Noord Brabantlaan or on screen.
Our office
Outplacement in Eindhoven and nearby
From our location on the Noord Brabantlaan, on the west side of the city, Care4Careers supports employees and employers in Eindhoven and nearby. The job market here runs on high tech, manufacturing and the supply chain around it, alongside a large healthcare sector and substantial logistics employment near the A2 and A67. That makes the region full of opportunity, but also sensitive to the cycles of a handful of major clients. Our coaches know that rhythm and translate it into realistic steps.
The first question is not only what work is available, but what you want to be different in your next role. We explore whether you want to continue in your profession, move into another type of role or consider a broader change.
About Eindhoven
Good to know about Eindhoven
Engineering drives the region
From engineering and machine building to production and maintenance: technical profiles tend to find work relatively quickly around Eindhoven. We map which of your skills are immediately usable there.
A lot of work happens in English
On the campuses and at international employers, English is often the working language. Several of our coaches work in English, so international employees in Eindhoven are well served too.
On location or online
Our location on the Noord Brabantlaan sits close to the N2 and is easy to reach by car and public transport. If you live further out, in Helmond, Veldhoven or Valkenswaard, coaching can also be fully online.
Employers are close together
When defining your search area, we look at the commuting time that is realistic for you. This helps determine which employers and working locations fit within your practical preferences.
The same work elsewhere is the fastest route
The length of a job search varies according to role, experience, search area and personal circumstances. We therefore do not make general promises about timing, but focus on concrete steps that help you move forward.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about outplacement
What does outplacement in Eindhoven cost and who pays for it?
In almost all cases the employer pays, usually as part of the settlement agreement. We prepare a proposal in advance, so both employer and employee know exactly what to expect. What makes up that figure is explained in what an outplacement programme costs. A programme begins at 2,000 euro, after which each module you choose raises the figure to a maximum of 5,000, all excluding VAT.
Are there enough vacancies in the Eindhoven region for my profile?
It depends on the field. Technical, healthcare and installation roles face structural shortages in south-east Brabant. For staff and office roles the market is tighter, so we focus more on your network and on employers outside the immediate chain. Meanwhile work out your transition payment, because it decides how much time you have.
Can the programme run in English?
Yes. Several of our coaches work entirely in English, including your CV, LinkedIn and interview preparation, which matches the international employers in this area.
Do I have to come to your Eindhoven location?
You are welcome to, but it is not required. Meeting us first costs nothing and obliges you to nothing, whether that happens here or on screen. Our location on the Noord Brabantlaan is easy to reach, and many people combine a few meetings on location with online sessions in between.
Where can I find Care4Careers in Eindhoven?
Our location is Noord Brabantlaan 265, 5652 LD Eindhoven. Visits are possible by appointment, so we can match you with the right coach.
Do you also work in the area around Eindhoven?
Yes. From Eindhoven we support people right across south-east Brabant, including Veldhoven, Best, Son, Nuenen, Geldrop and Helmond, both on location and online.
How long does an outplacement programme in Eindhoven take?
Three to six months on average. For technical profiles it is often faster in the Eindhoven region; when someone moves into a different sector we deliberately allow more time for orientation and retraining.
