Outplacement course outline

Move forward after redundancy

Understanding the answers to “Who am I?” and “What can I do?” lays the foundation for a successful job search campaign. These insights are crucial for guiding career transitions and assisting with strategic planning and preparation, turning challenges into opportunities.

Our review and move forward module ensures participants:

Glide’s professional and individualised approach ensured that I was confident and relaxed during daunting interview processes. Simon was supportive and fun in his guidance, and despite my obscure expertise, extremely adaptable in his technical knowledge. It is an amazing experience to be offered several roles and to be able to pick what suits me best!
