Career support
The career support workshop assists businesses in providing valuable career guidance and support to older employees. Whether employees are planning their next career move or preparing for retirement, this workshop will equip them with the insights and tools they need to navigate their career paths with confidence.
As people are living longer and the fixed retirement age has been abolished since 2011, individuals have the opportunity to remain in paid work for longer. Additionally, the notion of a job for life is becoming obsolete, and many employees may need to work for longer as their pensions might not be sufficient to support them in retirement. However, only 21% of employees feel comfortable discussing flexible working, retirement or future career plans with their manager.
This one-hour workshop is an opportunity for employees to consider their options and start planning for later life.
Topics include:
- Career planning
- Transferable skills and work values
- Behavioural interviewing
- Work-life balance
- Caring and your rights in work
By attending this workshop, employees will:
- Gain an understanding of career planning and how to navigate their career path.
- Identify and leverage transferable skills and work values.
- Learn effective behavioural interviewing techniques to enhance job searches.
- Understand the importance of work-life balance and how to achieve it.
- Get informed about rights in the workplace, especially caring responsibilities.
Our workshop provides independent and impartial information to help attendees address their concerns, build confidence and gain valuable insights towards a fulfilling retirement.
