Outplacement and Career Transition Support FAQs
What are Outplacement Services?
Our outplacement services are packaged and designed to support individual employees in their transition out of an organization. Through access to a wide range of career transition services, each package provides comprehensive resources and personalized guidance to help individuals explore any career opportunity and make informed career decisions so that they can successfully navigate the next steps of their careers.
Can Outplacement and Career Transition Services be customized?
We offer tiered packages as well as customized packages to meet your organization’s budget and offer the support you’d like to provide to your employees. Our approach to Career Transition Support is individualized to each person we meet with. We work with our clients one-on-one because, at Canada Career Counselling, we know that a “one-size-fits-all model” is not suitable for providing the best support to the unique needs of each person.
How long does the Outplacement and Career Transition process take?
Typically, Outplacement Packages span from 3-6 months. However, because our services are tailored to each organization and each person we work with, package lengths can be customized from a few weeks to a year. Contact us to learn more. We would be happy to provide a recommendation.
