Career Transition
Career Transition has been traditionally reserved for senior management as part of their severance packages. Today’s employment environment is changing, and more companies are discovering that Career Transition is a sound investment for all levels of employees during a difficult business situation. FGP Career Transition Programs can be customized to fit any client need.
Why Use Career Transition?
When companies find themselves faced with strategic downsizing, layoffs or total plant closures, FGP Career Transition Services provides valuable resources to the company and its associates. The downsizing company benefits by maintaining positive reputation for demonstrating concern and providing service to displaced employees. The employees can also keep a higher morale by having resources available to them at a difficult time.
Who Uses Career Transition?
Outplacement can be utilized for a single employee, to several employees or an entire facility being displaced or closed.
Why Choose FGP for Career Transition Services?
Traditional Outplacement programs just touch on the basics for helping employees find new jobs, while our Career Transition Services offer a more comprehensive program. Our programs are designed to support small groups of executives or associates for transitioning into a new career versus just finding a job. FGP has leveraged its hiring expertise and client network to design a program that benefits all employees throughout an organization, from hourly associates to top management. FGP has the capacity and resources to handle groups from 10 to 500 program participants. The following are some specifics on how we are different:
- Our standard course offerings reach far beyond the traditional outplacement training offered by the large national firms.
- We deliver our program in-person instead of facilitating classes and material via the web.
- We take associates to the next step in their career transition process by actively marketing and referring them to companies within the geographical region and industry for no fee.
- We host a career resource center on site or nearby the facility that is fully staffed with support personnel, a computer lab with internet access, a job search library, and most importantly a place for displaced associates to conduct their daily job search.
- We host multiple job fairs for displaced associates with companies that are hiring in the local area.
- We develop a career transition web site that is a one-stop resource for program participants. It features everything from job postings by functional area to job search tips and information.
