Life-Long Learners – They say the third time is the charm…

While researching demographic trends of adult learners in the BC Public Service I came across this interesting perspective on life stages. Take a look.

Do you agree that retirement is an individual’s third time around to get things right?

Do you think it is the responsibility of the individual or the organization to help ease employees entering the “third phase” of their life?

Are you part of the pre-retirement demographic in the public sector? What are your plans for retirement? Would you take part in a work-share program to slowly transition to the next phase of your life? Would you be interested in mentoring a colleague ensuring that your team can benefit from your accumulated knowledge leaving a positive legacy giving yourself closure so you can pursue new experiences?

I’d love to hear your perspective, please feel free to comment below.
