Aged Education

Educational programs specifically for Boomers point to a redefinition of aging

Trend - Boomers are seeking out new training in order to operate in technologically integrated workflows. These individuals are taking these steps in order to address the fact that their experience on its own is no longer enough to grant them a competitive edge over their colleagues.

Insight - Despite reaching retiring age, the majority of North American Boomers plan to continue to work. Although their tenure grants them an advantage over newer employees, this generation is generally less familiar with technology than the Millennials and Gen Z entering the workforce. Generationally targeted education empowers a generation intent on remaining active as they age.
Workshop Question - How could you better invest in enhancing the skills of your older employees?
Trend Themes
1. Boomer Education - Boomers are seeking educational programs to learn about technology and tech-integrated workflows.
2. Retirement Education - Retirees are seeking community-based educational programs to learn and stay active during their retirement.
3. Boomer Gig Economy - Boomers are seeking fulfillment in the gig economy and other flexible work arrangements.
Industry Implications
1. Education - There is an opportunity for educational institutions to develop targeted programs for Boomers and retirees looking to learn about technology and new workflows as well as general lifelong learning.
2. Finance - Financial institutions can offer money management seminars and retirement planning services for retirees to make smarter investments with personalized plans.
3. Human Resources - HR professionals can tap into the pool of experienced retirees looking for flexible work arrangements and match them with businesses looking for contractors or consultants.
