Career 50Plus programme
We recognize the issue of youth-centric culture, unequal treatment, and the misperception of individuals aged 45+ on a job market, who often face age-based discrimination.
ABOUT
We created the Career 50Plus program, as we want to break the stereotypes that limit mature people from making the most of their knowledge and experience. Our goal is to change these negative trends by promoting equality, leveraging the expertise of older (mature) employees and promoting multigenerational initiatives and projects.
Within the Career 50 Plus program, we work closely with many experienced professionals to translate experience into decision-oriented language, clearly defined competencies, and measurable market value.
Career 50 Plus is a program and a nationwide initiative addressing key challenges of the modern labor market, including demographic shifts, workforce shortages, and the underutilized potential of experienced employees. The program was designed to support the activation of individuals aged 45+, as well as to assist employers in building inclusive work environments and addressing the growing skills gap within organizations. It is a social and professional development program with a strong regional focus, recognizing that each region differs in terms of cultural context and local labor market challenges. We acknowledge and value this diversity.
- demographic changes related to an aging population,
- workforce shortages across multiple industries,
- the underutilized potential of experienced professionals.
