- Monitoring. Job Club sessions may be held even after finding employment, especially
with those who have a history of being fired. The aim of the sessions is to offer the
necessary support so that these persons are able to keep their newly found job (over a
transition period). It is recommended to monitore the subjects until they acquire self-
confidence and reach a certain degree of independence and emotional balance, which will
allow them to reconstruct adaptive behaviour and adjust their reaction to the new
professional situation.

Some counselling centres offer participants in the Job Club certain facilities:
- telephone access;
- computer and Internet to find a job and send an application;
