Too often, displaced workers are given the bad news, their severance check, and asked to leave, with no help or mention made of job search resources that may be available to them.
Outplacement programs provided by employers to their laid-off workers are a huge benefit to everyone. They not only help the employees quickly get on track with job search skills; they help improve the morale of the employees still working, create goodwill in the community, and for the bottom line, help get employees back to work sooner and thus decrease the costs associated with unemployment benefits.
However, these programs can be costly and are either non-existent or only offered to management level and higher. I have a creative solution and am very excited to announce my newly formed Career Transition Clubs. Companies may sponsor their employees into the Clubs at the corporate membership rates for a period of time giving them much needed resources and support. Weekly meetings provide opportunities to exchange ideas with other people in transition, learn tips and ideas for getting back to work sooner, and develop action plans to stay on track.
These meetings are also open to individuals already in or planning a career transition. Please contact me for more information at info@LousbergUnlimited.com. We’re kicking off in Vista, CA on Monday November 10th, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Plans are underway to hold more Club meetings in other areas of San Diego County and eventually via phone and internet. Stay tuned for details!

Great idea to have career transition clubs.
I present at a similar organization, here in the Toronto area. www.happen.ca has been in existence for a decade or more and works well during tough times as well as the good times.
Congratulations I wish you all the best for success!
