Outplacement Programmes

Skillsarena ‘Outplacement’ services are engaged by organisations to provide career support and guidance to loyal staff who have to leave the company and find new roles or careers due to redundancy or severance.

During this time, businesses are extremely busy and our expert consultants deliver the "Steps to Success" programme. The programme is specifically designed for affected staff and to deliver the support, guidance and the confidence to enter the job market. Candidates exit with visible and valuable support from the organisation which allows HR to remain focused on the core tasks.

Typically delivered as workshops and as 1-2-1 sessions, expert consultants cover a range of topics which cover some or all of the following elements as required:

• Identify transferable skills
• Psychometric profiling and expert feedback on motivations, personality....
• Careers advice, market overview, networking
• Mock interview workshops and preparation
• CV and covering letters, psychometric profiles
• Job offer, acceptence and negotiation skills
• Social networking and job-board registration and training
• Production of personalised action plans and objectives to include follow-ups and 1-2-1 support:
• 1-2-1 sessions with an professional Skillsarena consultant providing practical, focused help for individuals to evaluate their options, identify career objectives, formulate a plan for their next move, prepare themselves for the job market and how to maximise their success.

Workshops:- On occasion, there maybe large groups of candidates requiring transition management. Skillsarena will run redundany workshops, to guide and support the groups tailoring the content to maximise the benefits and use of resources.
