1 This volume is one of four book publications of the project 'Social Convoy and S- tainable Employability: Innovative Strategies for Outplacement/Replacement Couns- ling' (SOCOSE). It is supported by the European Commission, DG Research, under the fifth Framework Programme, Key Action 'Improving the Socio-Economic Knowledge 2 3 Base' and coordinated by Thomas Kieselbach at the University of Bremen . Starting point of our research is the increase in occupational transitions (Rodgers & Rodgers, 1989). This is caused by the ongoing globalisation of markets and eco- mies as a whole, but might also be considered the central aspect of globalisation: changes and flexibility which - on the part of the individual employee - means tran- tions in his or her occupational biography. These phases might include episodes of - employment as well as training or re-orientation. While transitions increase, employees experience insecurity with regard to their individual employment situation to a much larger degree than in the past. The formal 1 Kieselbach, T. (Ed.) (2004).
