New York, NY – May 4, 2009 – Manhattan-based Talent Management and Executive Coaching firm BeamPines, Inc., launched a quality focused alternative to traditional outplacement programs today. CTC Online™, short for Career Transition Counseling, assists companies in providing high quality career coaching for departing employees at an affordable cost.
CTC Online™ is a virtual coaching program providing individuals the value of in-depth career coaching with the convenience of e-learning. The online training application provides a fully interactive approach for all user levels with modules ranging from personal assessment, resume and interview preparation, to networking and stress management. Expert ad hoc and in-depth coaching, the firm’s core strength, drives the process every step of the way.
“Traditional outplacement firms spent the last 20 years perfecting the commoditization of the service through pricing in support of fixed real estate assets,” says Jay Santamaria, BeamPines President and CEO. “Candidates are given temporary use of office space, access to printing and mailing services along with very limited time in front of an overburdened consultant. We never wanted to play that devaluation game. Now we can provide our hallmark, c-suite coaching support for our candidates with access to a world-class process at the touch of a button.”
Santamaria and his team created the online tool based on nearly 30 years of career coaching material and worked with a web designer who understood that the value was to come from the content and coaching versus high-tech options. CTC’s web design focuses primarily on usability and the interaction with the coach. Candidates benefit from quality material and responsiveness.
In addition to planned “deep-dive” career coaching sessions, interactive functions allow users to contact their career coach with questions as they progress through each learning module and to receive timely feedback. Candidates are contacted with answers to questions via phone and email within hours.
