When an international employee in the Netherlands cannot return to their own role after long-term illness or disability, you need more than a generic reintegration service. You need a second track vocational rehabilitation partner<\/a> that can work in English, keep the process moving, and document each step properly.<\/p>\n\n

CareerSolution provides fully English-language Second Track Reintegration and job coaching for international organisations in the Netherlands. We help you guide an employee towards suitable work with another employer while keeping the process aligned with Wet Verbetering Poortwachter and UWV expectations.<\/p>\n\n

English-language second track vocational rehabilitation for international employees in the Netherlands<\/h2>\n\n

CareerSolution supports employers when first track reintegration is no longer enough and return to the original position is not realistic. Our English-speaking coaches work with international employees to identify alternative employment that fits their remaining work capacity, skills, experience, and medical restrictions.<\/p>\n\n

That matters because second track is not optional once it becomes clear that sustainable return to the current role is not possible. In the Netherlands, employers must continue reintegration efforts during the sickness period, keep a return-to-work report, and continue paying at least 70% of wages and holiday allowance for up to 104 weeks. If UWV decides too little has been done, wage continuation can be extended by up to 1 extra year. CareerSolution helps you turn that obligation into a structured, active vocational rehabilitation route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For international teams, language is often the hidden barrier. If the employee, manager, HR team, and external providers are not fully aligned, second track can become slow, unclear, and difficult to evidence. CareerSolution keeps the process understandable in English for the employee while giving your organisation the documentation needed for Dutch compliance.<\/p>\n\n

CareerSolution second track programmes with job coaching, labour market orientation and placement support<\/h2>\n\n

CareerSolution offers second track programmes in 6, 9, or 12 month formats, depending on the employee\u2019s situation and the level of support required. Each programme is built to move beyond assessment alone and towards realistic opportunities for employment outside your organisation.<\/p>\n\n

Your employee can receive practical support such as:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • labour market orientation focused on suitable work<\/li>\n
  • reintegration coaching in English<\/li>\n
  • CV and LinkedIn support<\/li>\n
  • interview preparation<\/li>\n
  • job search assistance and online job searching<\/li>\n
  • personal profile and job search profile development<\/li>\n
  • active job placement support<\/li>\n
  • progress reporting and case documentation for employer files<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    CareerSolution turns these deliverables into a route your employee can actually follow. Instead of being left with a general recommendation, they get coaching, positioning, application support, and a clearer view of where their remaining capacity fits in the labour market.<\/p>\n\n

    \n

    “CareerSolution offers English-language second track programmes in 6, 9, or 12 month formats.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

    This is especially useful when an employee has strong professional experience but needs help translating that experience into a realistic next role after illness. We help them understand which jobs remain suitable, how to present themselves to a new employer, and how to approach interviews with confidence and clarity.<\/p>\n\n

    UWV-ready second track documentation and progress reporting for employers<\/h2>\n\n

    CareerSolution supports the process behind the coaching as carefully as the coaching itself. We provide professional progress reporting and documentation so your HR team has a clear record of activities, agreements, and next steps throughout the second track route.<\/p>\n\n

    That is important because Dutch employers must maintain a return-to-work report covering reintegration actions, plans, and correspondence. Employees are also expected to discuss progress regularly, cooperate with the action plan, and accept suitable work. CareerSolution helps you keep a practical record of labour market orientation, coaching activity, job search efforts, and movement towards alternative employment.<\/p>\n\n

    If your organisation is preparing for a WIA-related review, good intentions are not enough. UWV assesses whether sufficient reintegration effort has been made. CareerSolution helps you show that second track has been started, supported, and documented in a professional way, which reduces the risk of an avoidable setback at assessment stage.<\/p>\n\n

    Job coaching that supports the move to a new employer<\/h2>\n\n

    Second track vocational rehabilitation is not only about finding vacancies. It is also about helping an employee function in a new work setting. CareerSolution includes job coaching support that helps employees with planning, structure, confidence, communication, and the practical demands of moving into another suitable role.<\/p>\n\n

    \n

    “CareerSolution combines second track reintegration with practical job coaching for the move towards work with a new employer.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

    This approach fits the Dutch system. UWV can support job coaching with a new employer, and external job coaching is a recognised part of the reintegration landscape. In some cases, job coaching can continue for a substantial period after placement, helping the employee settle into work and making the transition more sustainable.<\/p>\n\n

    CareerSolution also understands that second track may involve more than direct application activity. Depending on the case, the route may include testing, workplace matching, or a path that leads through a temporary placement or detachment before permanent employment. We keep the focus on suitable work, not just fast activity.<\/p>\n\n

    When CareerSolution is the right fit for your organisation in the Netherlands<\/h2>\n\n

    CareerSolution is particularly relevant when your second track case involves international staff and English is the working language. We are a strong fit if you need both employee support and employer-side clarity.<\/p>\n\n

    You are likely to benefit from CareerSolution if:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • your employee is an international professional who is more comfortable discussing work options in English<\/li>\n
    • your HR team needs second track documentation that can stand up to UWV review<\/li>\n
    • return to the current position is no longer realistic because of lasting medical restrictions<\/li>\n
    • you want an external specialist to guide labour market orientation, applications, and interviews<\/li>\n
    • you need a reintegration partner that understands both the employee journey and the employer\u2019s obligations during the 104-week sickness period<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      CareerSolution is not there to replace internal case management, the company doctor, or legal advice. We fit best when an employer already knows that a second track route is necessary and wants that route handled in a practical, professional, and clearly documented way.<\/p>\n\n

      Why CareerSolution stands out for English second track reintegration<\/h2>\n\n

      CareerSolution is specialised in English-language second track services. That specialisation matters when the employee\u2019s understanding of the process affects cooperation, pace, and outcomes.<\/p>\n\n

      We make the route clearer for everyone involved. Your employee receives coaching in a language they can use confidently. Your organisation receives progress reporting and documentation that supports Dutch compliance. That combination helps reduce confusion, delays, and the risk that important reintegration work is happening but not being recorded properly.<\/p>\n\n

      CareerSolution also focuses on employability in real labour market terms. We do not stop at high-level advice. We support job search activity, profile development, interview preparation, and active placement efforts so the second track process moves towards sustainable employment outside the current organisation.<\/p>\n\n
