Launch Outplacement Program
Launch every career transition with confidence.
The foundation your people need to move forward
The right support can change what comes next. Launch helps people find their footing, and their way forward, faster. Challenger’s foundational outplacement program pairs a dedicated personal coach and powerful job search technology so every person navigating a career transition can move forward quickly with real support behind them from day one.
Whether you're supporting five people or five thousand, Launch is made to scale. And because no two transitions are the same, no two Launch engagements have to be. Tailor the duration, coaching structure, and program components to the needs of each team or role, level or job band, or individual.
What makes
Launch work
A fast start, not a slow ramp
A focused virtual kickoff session gets each person oriented and moving immediately, with a clear plan and the structure needed to execute it. 1-on-1 and led by their dedicated coach, clients leave with the focus and tools to start strong.
Job search tools that work as hard as they do
Through Challenger CareerSuite, employees access AI-powered job search tools, networking contact finders, mock interview practice with coach feedback, and live weekly webinars.
A real coach from day one
Every person enrolled in Launch gets access to calls with a dedicated personal coach for the duration of the program. Not a call center or a chatbot. A job search expert who knows their situation and helps them move when it counts most.
Clarity about what comes next
CareerShift gives each person a realistic view of their role in today’s market, what skills are in demand, upskilling opions, and where the real opportunities are.
Professional materials that open doors
A professional writer produces a polished, job-ready resume. Their coach reviews their LinkedIn profile to make sure they show up strong where hiring managers are already looking.
