Imagine Real Career Stability

That’s what you can expect when you work with The Transition People. Whether you’re already employed and ready to make a change or are dealing with an unexpected job loss, we can help.

Our career conditioning programs get you in shape to take care of yourself and those you love no matter what happens to your job. You get:

New tools to recession-proof your career
Realistic career stability starts when you know who you are, what you want, where your skills intersect with market needs and how to network so you’re never more than a few phone calls away from your next opportunity. Our integrated career conditioning programs equip you with tools, skills and support that help you chart a course for your life, find work that’s right for you, manage your job search and more.

Life management skills no one taught you in school
Realistic career stability starts with knowing how to take ownership of your career and not expecting an employer to do it for you. The Transition People equip you with the tools, skills and confidence that are so essential for success in today’s economy - skills like networking, giving presentations, managing your own retirement accounts and preparing for the seven (yes, SEVEN!) careers you’re likely to have in your lifetime. We don’t just help you write your resume. We help you answer the hard questions like "What should I do with the rest of my life?" and "How do I plan for my retirement if no one is doing it for me?" The Transition People arm you with what you need to face life on your terms.

New skills to finance your life
Realistic career stability starts when you realize that conventional wisdom about accumulating wealth is neither conventional nor wise. Many professionals believe that tax-deferred investments, such as an employer-sponsored 401(k), are the only ticket to a secure retirement future. But what about the present? How will that tax-deferred nest egg support you and your family when you’re between jobs? How should you invest when one of your seven careers might be an entrepreneurial opportunity? Saving for retirement is important but the game has changed! The financial experts at the Transition People give you the tools and guidance you need to get through your transition while developing a plan to fund the dreams you have for your work - and your life.

The truth about health insurance
Realistic career stability begins when the thought of losing your employer-sponsored health plan doesn’t automatically fill you with terror. If your health coverage has always come from an employer, you may be worried about what you will do when you leave. The Transition People help you find the right coverage at the right price so you can protect yourself and those you love without worries. We arm you with facts that dispel common and enduring myths about health care coverage, including:

1. MYTH: Purchasing COBRA coverage from your former employers is always the least-cost option. FACT: Private health insurance is usually much less expensive than employer-sponsored plans.
2. MYTH: Coverage is cheaper if you buy it yourself from an online insurance company instead of working through a broker. FACT: All insurance companies file their rates with each state they operate in. In other words, rates are fixed! Your cost will be the same whether you buy coverage on your own or through a broker.
3. MYTH: Individual health insurance is too expensive. FACT: Private health insurance is often less expensive than employer-sponsored plans.

Why spend hours trying to become an expert in health care coverage when assistance is just a phone call away? Let The Transition People do the legwork and help you make the right decision. Remember, COBRA isn’t your only option!

Help reinventing yourself
Realistic career stability starts with finding work that works for you. Instead of automatically guiding you to a job like the one you lost, The Transition People help you design a fresh new future, one where you’re in charge. We give you a strategic roadmap that helps you evaluate all the options, including working for a different company in the same profession or for the same company but in a different profession, a totally new career, or something entrepreneurial like consulting, independent contract work or business ownership. You don’t have to be stuck in dull, unfulfilling work. Reinvention is possible.

New truths about today’s career marketplace
Realistic career stability starts when you face the reality that no one - not a corporation, not an employer, not the government - is going to take care of you. The age of entitlements is over. You simply can’t count on one employer’s paycheck, benefit package and 401(k) to be there from now until retirement. Working for one company creates the same false sense of security as a small business owner gets when he depends on one customer for all his revenue. The Transition People give you a new way to reduce that risk by teaching you how to look at yourself as a small business owner - a free agent - who’s in charge of selling an exciting new product (You!) to a variety of potential customers. We do this by transforming the thought processes and paradigms that fuel your fears about career transition and help you develop the emotional strength you need to thrive no matter what the workplace throws at you.

Are you worth it?
Think of yourself as a small business called YOU, LLC. Like any enterprise, your business requires regular infusions of capital. Capital invested in YOU, LLC gives you a competitive advantage in a career marketplace that may bear little resemblance to the one you entered many years ago. You are worth the investment. The Transition People brings together all the help you need to seize that competitive advantage and become the best YOU, LLC you can be - no matter where you’re located.
