Losing your job is never easy, even when it’s handled professionally and with care. Whether you’re navigating this transition yourself or you’re part of a company making the difficult decision to let someone go, outplacement assistance is designed to offer clarity, confidence, and a path forward.
But what does that mean in practice?
Let’s explore what outplacement assistance is, how it works, and why it matters, both for employees moving on and companies committed to a responsible offboarding process.
What Is Outplacement Assistance?
Outplacement assistance is professional support provided to employees after a layoff, redundancy, or restructuring. The goal is simple: to help the person land their next role faster and with greater ease.
At Career Consultant, we offer personalized outplacement programs tailored to each individual’s goals, background, and challenges. Rather than offering generic advice, we meet people where they are, and guide them step by step toward where they want to be.
Outplacement is not just about finding “the next job.” It’s about rebuilding confidence, reframing uncertainty, and creating new opportunities.
If You’ve Been Offered Outplacement Assistance, Here’s What to Expect
If your employer has granted you an outplacement program, you might feel unsure whether it’s relevant for you or even worth using.
Let us be clear: This support is for you.
Here’s what you can expect from a professional outplacement experience:
1 – Personalized Career Support
You’ll work one-on-one with a career coach who understands the Danish job market and can help you make strategic decisions about your next move, whether that’s a new role, a career change, or even launching something of your own.
2 – Tools, Structure, and Motivation
From updating your CV and LinkedIn profile to preparing for interviews and navigating applications, we’ll guide you with a clear plan, so you never feel alone in the process.
3 – Emotional Support Through Uncertainty
Losing a job can shake your identity. We get that. Our approach includes space to process what’s happened, while also helping you rebuild confidence and reconnect with your strengths.
You don’t have to do this alone and you don’t have to rush.
For Companies: Outplacement That Reflects Your Values
As an employer, choosing to offer outplacement assistance is a sign of respect and responsibility. But more than that, it’s a reflection of your company culture.
Whether you’re restructuring a team, closing a location, or managing redundancies due to budget changes, how you handle offboarding matters. Employees remember it. So do those who stay.
At Career Consultant, we partner with companies across Denmark to deliver outplacement programs that are:
-
Personalized (not one-size-fits-all)
-
Flexible (Broad availability)
-
Culturally aware (especially for international professionals in Denmark)
-
Actionable (practical tools that make a difference)
Our programs don’t just help people “move on.” They help them move forward with dignity and direction.

Why Outplacement Assistance Matters
Whether you’re the one moving on or the one making the decision, outplacement assistance creates benefits for everyone involved:
For employees: Reduced stress, faster reemployment, renewed confidence
For companies: Stronger employer brand, smoother transitions, and reduced internal tension
For teams: A more humane culture, even in hard times
Investing in people after they leave is one of the most powerful ways to show that your company truly cares.
