Lakeland Community College now offers outplacement
services to assist area employers with workforce reduction issues. The service
combines the unique resources of a community college with the expertise of leading
outplacement consultants. The program specializes in offering services to companies
wishing to offer effective outplacement to hourly workers or salaried employees
up to mid-level. Why Offer Outplacement?
Outplacement softens the blow of job loss and helps laid-off employees
transition as rapidly as possible to a new job. In addition to maintaining a good
corporate image, providing outplacement can be cost effective: it can shorten
the amount of time former employees collect unemployment benefits. Why

Our affordability makes us accessible to small employers as well as large
- Referral to other resources. Our strong links to other institutions
and community resources allow us to act as a clearinghouse of information.
- Unique resources for job seekers. Includes access to OhioLink research

"I
was impressed most of all by the support extended to those facing job loss. We
were able to transition the individual quickly from the unhappy realization that
they were no longer employed, directly to a supportive situation coupled with
a concrete plan of recovery."
