Entrepreneurship, financial wellness and retirement planning

Overview

The transition from employment can be stressful and challenging for many people.  This training helps employees recognize the opportunities and challenges that come with retirement, and to make the family, social, psychological, financial, and health management adjustments required to live a fulfilling life in retirement.  Among others, the training guides employees on how to achieve financial security through effective money management - saving, investing, budgeting, building a portfolio of personal assets, avoiding bad loans, and living within one’s means. Participants also identify business opportunities appropriate for them and develop pertinent skills and plans for starting and operating businesses. With these key skills, our participants complete the training looking forward to retirement.

Participants are guided to recognize:

• Their talents and other assets that they can build on towards and in retirement
• Alternative post-retirement “activities”  
• Practical ways of building their asset base and streams of income
• How to prepare psychologically and socially for retirement
• Good practices in starting and running a business
• Expected pension benefits and investment schemes tailored to retirees
