ANALYSIS
Externally there is a perception that retirees ought to be seen and not heard and by retirees themselves that they ought to be able to weather this major life transition without complaint. Professionally in the face of ageing populations there is a widely recognized need for education and support for successful ageing and life planning.
CUSTOMER VALUE PROPOSITION The course/s can make a significant difference to the experience of transition from main career to retirement, through addressing purpose building skills, finding and reaching goals, decision making and relationship issues.
