Outplacement: support towards a new future
What is outplacement?
In Nijmegen the question is rarely whether there is work. With healthcare, education and a cluster of semiconductor and measurement companies side by side, the question is which work, and that is a harder conversation than applying. Outplacement gives that conversation the room it needs before you choose. The introduction is free of charge and without obligation.
Why the phases follow one another in this order is explained on what an outplacement programme involves.
What does an outplacement process look like at Care4Careers in Nijmegen?
Our approach in 5 steps
An outplacement programme consists of eight components spread across the five steps below. That ordering is where outplacement parts company with occasional help on applications.
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 clear is your direction, and where exactly does the doubt sit? That sets the structure.
Coaching and assessment
Questionnaires and conversations show where your aptitude lies, including outside your current field.
Preparing for the market
Your profile is made readable for someone outside your institution, without internal terms.
Job search and network
You speak to people doing the work you are considering. That decides more often than a job advert.
Aftercare and support
You are under way; we stay contactable until the chosen direction proves itself.
When another professional environment comes into view
When outplacement is used
The starting point varies. The purpose of the support is to turn that situation into a focused move forward.
Restructuring leaves no place in the same role
When your position disappears, we consider which experience you can take elsewhere and what sort of environment would suit it.
Your temporary contract will not continue
Because the final date is already known, the remaining period can be used to prepare your next phase deliberately.
A settlement agreement formalises your departure
Outplacement can be included to provide professional support in deciding on and pursuing your next career move.
Your own workplace is no longer appropriate after prolonged absence
If employment subsequently ends, we investigate work outside the organisation that better matches your current situation.

From work to work, even when the direction is not settled
In a city with healthcare, education and engineering side by side, the question is rarely whether there is work. The question is which work, and that is a harder conversation than applying.
We know the employers here
The hospital, the knowledge institutions, the engineering firms and the municipality. One organisation wants a letter to personnel, the next a conversation with the department itself. Where a reorganisation is the cause, read dismissal through reorganisation too.
Your employer pays, and it is recorded
That undertaking has to be traceable in the social plan or in the agreement under which you leave. Have someone with knowledge of the field go through it first, and agree only after that: having your settlement agreement reviewed.
Doubt is a starting point, not a problem
Anyone who does not know which way to go has no weak position, just a different one. We then start from what gave you energy rather than from vacancies.
The first months afterwards as well
Whether a choice was right you only know once you have been in it a while. For as long as that runs you can still call your coach.
What you are working towards
You have chosen a direction you can explain, and found work that goes with it.
Who guides you
Your dedicated coach at the Oranjesingel
At the Oranjesingel you work with one coach who knows the university medical centre and the education sector as well as the cluster of semiconductor and measurement companies. Because the question here is not whether there is work but which work, the orientation gets more room than the applying does. Arnhem is twenty minutes away. You walk over from the station or you meet on video.
Our office
Outplacement in Nijmegen and nearby
You find us in Nijmegen on the Oranjesingel, just outside the centre and walkable from the station. This city rests on healthcare, education and high tech. The university medical centre, the university and the university of applied sciences are the largest employers, with a cluster of semiconductor and measurement companies alongside them. What steers a search here is rarely a lack of work but doubt about direction.
About Nijmegen
Good to know about Nijmegen
Healthcare and research run into each other here
Ringing the academic hospital are research groups, laboratories and the firms that supply them. Anyone wanting to leave patient care can often keep the surroundings.
High tech out of the spotlight
Nijmegen has a cluster of semiconductor, measurement and instrument companies less known than Eindhoven's. That means less competition for vacancies than the qualification level suggests.
Arnhem twenty minutes away
Both cities draw from the same pool of employers. Including both doubles the supply without the commute growing; Germany is half an hour away.
Oranjesingel, close to the station
A ten minute walk from the station, with paid parking a short distance off. Travel is optional: the programme also runs remotely.
The region at a glance
The labour market in Nijmegen
Most of the work here sits with hospitals, schools and technology firms, and that is exactly where recruitment happens. Engineering and IT are pulling hardest at the moment. What is unusual is that those three worlds sit physically close together, which makes a move between them more realistic.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about outplacement
How long does a programme take?
Three to six months. If your target is already fixed you are quickly at the lower end. If that target still has to surface, you need the whole period. How many building blocks you put to work sets the price, which lands between 2,000 and 5,000 euros, VAT not counted. Before anything begins you know which figure applies to you.
I am in healthcare and do not want to keep doing it. Where to?
Further than you think. Healthcare experience counts at research groups, medical technology firms, insurers, training institutions and the public health service, and all of those sit within a few kilometres. The hard part is not the step but translating your experience. The way to put such experience into words is covered on writing a CV after redundancy.
Do you include Arnhem?
Naturally. Employers on both sides of the Waal draw from the same pool. Would you rather remain inside the city limits, then we record that and do not stray from it.
Can I work in Germany?
That is possible. Kleve and Emmerich are reachable inside half an hour, and healthcare and engineering are just as understaffed there. A German contract puts your insurance and your tax papers on a different footing. We point out where it will pinch; the arithmetic we leave to a specialist.
How quickly can we start?
Reckon on five to seven working days once the assignment is signed. Whatever reaches us gets an answer that same day, or otherwise the day after.
We are letting several employees go. Do they get the same programme?
No. One knows exactly what they are after, another still has to work it out, and that asks for a different structure. Each employee decides with their coach what the programme looks like. What that involves is at the make-up of the programme.
