Affordable Career Transition Programmes

Combined with the expertise of our professional and fully qualified Practitioners, our programmes have proven highly successful in enabling people to discover what they truly want in their careers and how to achieve it.

We currently offer three key packages tailored to suit individuals needs:

The Career Direction Programme
The Career Transition Programme
The Redundancy and Outplacement Programme

Most programmes are conducted over a period of 10 days - 6 months depending on the level of one-to-one consultancy support needed. Each programme will deliver a clear career strategy which utilises and enhances both personal strengths and aspirations, and includes:

• Tailored psychometric testing
• Structured assessment homework 
• Participative feedback
• A comprehensive assessment of all possible future career directions carried out upon completion.

THE CAREER DIRECTION PROGRAMME

Who would benefit most? 

• Individuals re-assessing their needs and wants for the remainder of their career. 

You may be taking a proactive approach and wanting to plan ahead for the future. Or have a growing feeling of dissatisfaction with your existing career. Whatever your reason, you need greater clarity of your options.

Our Career Direction Programme contains four stages:

Stage 1: Career Assessment 

A series of comprehensive questionnaires and tests enable us to develop your own personality profile.
This identifies the underlying patterns and preferences that exist for you in different jobs and activities, to determine what you need to have in a job or career to make it truly satisfying. Plus we look at where you currently are in relation to this.

Stage 2: Analysis and Diagnostic Feedback

By combining your personal profile with career successes and interests, we identify your career goals. These become the focal points for a confidential one-on-one discussion with one of our trained counsellors.

Stage 3: Clarify Your Career Options

Our consultants will review your test results, profile feedback and discuss different possibilities taking into account your age, previous experience, financial situation, family commitments and your employment situation.

Stage 4: Career Coaching

Lastly we look at how best to take you forward to meet your chosen career goal. By taking into consideration how quickly you want this change to take place, we develop an easy to follow step-by-step action plan. Giving you measurable criteria to help track your progress to the career future you deserve.

Your action plan will highlight:

• How and where to focus your energies, efforts and ambitions
• Which career level best suits your experience and abilities 
• How to progress within your career most efficiently
• What environment is best suited to you/ how best you might fit into any organisation
