Experience has a next chapter.
NewGenAge is developing pathways for experienced older adults to build their careers and contribute through consultancy, education, mentoring and project work.
Make experience visible.
A lifetime of knowledge should remain valued as careers change shape.
The Later Life Expertise Network is in development. Its purpose is to help older professionals articulate their expertise, connect with organisations and explore meaningful, fairly paid opportunities.
Expressions of interest help shape the model. Membership, a searchable directory and project matching are not yet available.
Career development.
Connection.
Contribution.
Planned activities include:
- Building profiles of later life expertise and transferable skills.
- Developing consultancy skills, professional offers and confidence in setting fees.
- Connecting experienced professionals with suitable consultancy and project briefs.
- Creating mentoring, teaching and advisory opportunities.
- Involving older adults in curriculum development and research.
- Helping organisations design age inclusive career pathways.
Bring experience into the work.
Share a project, a teaching need or an interest in building more age inclusive careers.
NewGenAge welcomes conversations with universities, employers and partners about how experienced older adults can contribute. Consultancy scope, expectations and professional fees should recognise the value of that contribution.
The network is being developed; introductions or paid work cannot be guaranteed.
Help shape later life opportunities.
