If you have recently lost your job, or want to help your employees secure future employment after retrenchment, Mas Transition is ready to guide you toward new opportunities.

Mas Transition helps guide retrenched workers into new job opportunities

The face of Australian industry is rapidly shifting, with sectors such as manufacturing and telecommunications undergoing serious change. While often larger businesses can redeploy workers to another suitable position, when this isn’t possible the employee loses their job. This is called retrenchment.

If you have been retrenched or are facing retrenchment, we understand that you may be feeling stressed or worried. You may have spent the majority of your career in a specific industry or even within the one company, only to have that change unexpectedly.

It’s completely normal to be unsure of the next steps, but that’s where Mas Transition comes in. We’ll help you navigate any concerns you may have, including:

  • Transferring your skillset to a new job
  • Finding a rewarding job
  • Understanding what’s changed in the labour market since you started your career
  • Developing confidence in how to take the next steps.

Mas Transition works with industries and governments to give retrenched workers the support they need and guide them into new employment opportunities. We’ll help guide you through the process and find a position that maximises your existing skills and passions.
