Over 50 - how do you see yourself ? |
|
Mature? Active? Around fifty? Over 50? An older worker? A baby boomer? Planning retirement? Retired? Absolutely no thoughts of retirement?
Do you want to make some changes?
If so, and if you're over 50, then in my prime is for you. We’re the leading organisation for mature, positive, energetic people who want to achieve more – at a time in their lives when others might be thinking of easing off, slowing down or planning for retirement. |
Perhaps you’re drawing to the end of a long career, one of the "older workers"? Perhaps changes in family or domestic circumstances call for some fundamental re-appraisal of the direction of your life? Perhaps your needs are financial, you just can’t afford to stop? Or maybe you’re just bored or frustrated and know that there must be more to life than this?
in my prime is all about helping and supporting you to:
- dispel all doubts (if you have any) - being over 50 is nothing to do with being old
really enjoy what you're doing, now and well into the future

Workplace training for the over 50s
Demographic trends are increasingly creating a shortage of younger skilled workers – a situation which is forecast to worsen over the next decade. This means that investing in training, developing, and re-skilling older workers needs to become a priority for employers, for whom, as this article demonstrates, there is much to be gained in terms of increased older worker productivity, commitment and engagement.
