Many thanks to Saranen for organizing the trainings, the elevator speech sparring and the interview practice. Thanks to you, I got a job in my desired profession surprisingly quickly and at over 57 years old.
+55 training participant
Excellent trainings and trainers. There was no usual jargon, but training that focused on my needs.
+55 training participant
Good training that progressed logically based on the mapping of my needs made at the beginning. During the training, my skills were well mapped out and I learned a lot more about selling my own skills to the job market, and during the training I already advanced a lot in that regard. I felt that during the training I got the tools to break away from my old work role and learned to see my employment more broadly from the perspective of modern working life. Working life has changed a lot since the last time I seriously looked for a job, so I think that was very necessary.
+55 training participant
Thank you for the excellent cooperation. I got exactly the training I wanted and every trainer was excellent. I already got temporary project work before, and last week a permanent full-time job opened up.
+55 training participant
Very well implemented customized training for my own needs.
+55 training participant
After being in the same job for so long and not thinking about job-seeking, Saranen’s career coaching was definitely useful. Without the career coaching, I would not have known how to start looking for a job. I’m glad I went along!

At first, we went through my career and pondered the opportunities it could bring. The pandemic and the resulting unemployment put me in low spirits, but my coach helped me successfully see my potential. The most important thing is to find someone to talk to, so you can think together about what you should do.

The coaching gave me a lot of self-confidence, and the career coach taught me to bring out my best qualities. The professional and supportive approach was exactly what I needed after being laid off. The coach gave me tremendous strength and energy so that I could deal with the disappointment of losing my job and start looking forward in my career.

What is change security and what does it entail?
Expanded change security consists of a change security allowance equivalent to one month's salary and outplacement training equivalent to two months' salary. The content of the outplacement training taken through Sarasen is always planned together with a Sarasen expert. In addition, the person is entitled to an extended employment leave of 5, 15 or 25 days.
Outplacement training is training that increases professional skills or supports business activities, which promotes the rapid re-employment of a dismissed person. The training must primarily meet the goals and wishes of the dismissed person. Participation in change safety training is voluntary for the dismissed employee.
You can find more information about change insurance on our blog and on the website of the Employment Fund.
