Career Transition; more relevant than ever.

The workplace is offering the most dynamic career change options we have ever witnessed, at an unparalleled pace. The breadth of those options, against an ever more global marketplace, provides a rich mix of opportunity. It is assumed that those active in the work place, particularly the emerging career professionals, are adept at skilfully navigating this exciting landscape. But this land of opportunity is so diverse that the need for skilled and experienced Career Transition support has never been greater.

Outplacement and related services have been such an important support element to organisational change, restructuring, M&A and closures over the years, providing critical support to employees and their families as they face often bewildering and emotionally charged decisions. Surely, we don’t need this level of support any more? Without question the needs have changed but have not diminished. Outplacement itself has re branded to Career Transition and today a contemporary career transition service offers an ever growing and changing range of support services.

We are currently faced with three distinct generations of career holders;

Stage One: the emerging “Career Professionals” are looking to build on a solid academic platform by entering an employment landscape with opportunities that range from micro businesses to corporates, local to global. Lines of career travel are less defined than before and whilst this emerging group are without doubt highly socially mobile the career options open to them need to be proactively planned for and adjusted on a regular basis.
