Torc Response

Torc’s Executive Career Transition Programme provided a structure for the executive to explore and analyse career options based on his personality, skills, experience and preferences. Working with Torc’s consultant it became clear that the candidate had strong entrepreneurial abilities.

After further review and discussion the executive decided that self employment was the most appropriate option.

Taking the self employment option to the next stage, the consultant guided the executive through the options:
