Outplacement Skills Outplacement is an effective
and well-tested method of helping people readjust to changed
circumstances with the minimum of difficulty and distress.
It offers a mix of reassurance, skilled practical help and
coaching, which is enormously helpful to anyone in search of
a new job. At the same time it enhances the reputation of
the sponsoring organisation.
The Training may be provided in the following formats:
- A one-day Workshop, giving an over-view of the above
topics, supported by basic reference notes, presented as
a Manual.
- A two-day Workshop, with practical work and skills
training to augment the day one programme.
- A three-day Workshop offering casework and role
plays to achieve skills transfer
- A customised programme of appropriate length, to the
client’s specification. We will provide support in
developing that specification, if required.
