Over 50?

Change of direction
It’s never too late to learn new skills, update your knowledge or simply learn for fun. Did you know there are over 25,000 courses on your doorstep? Take advantage of this opportunity.

Self Employment
Do you really want to stay in the same job until retirement or do you fancy being your own boss? Small businesses started by people of 50+ are twice as likely to succeed as those started by younger people.

Back to work
Job hunting can be a real challenge. You may not have done it for a while or maybe you feel discriminated against. But your life experience means you have a lot to offer employers and mature employees are increasingly in demand.
