This is a programme on how all employees sure to approach retirement shortly or in a few years’ time must plan how they will confront real economic issues after their employment in the organisation. The course shows that retiring from corporate employment need not become a calamity. It also introduces participants to post-retirement Entrepreneurship, and they are taken through an orientation of “entrepreneurial personality” which, rather than be characterized by a propensity for risk taking, will, among other things, focus success on one thing – “opportunity focused.”  They will learn several entrepreneurial logics and make them dig deep into ideas underlying a product or service they may think of producing, prepare the ideas, get started, and keep it going with commitment.

The Training will also give the Participants the ways to:

• identify their talents and personal capabilities they can utilize elsewhere.
• restructure their lives.
• implement a new financial life plan.
• If desired, start and run own businesses and become successful entrepreneurs.
